The English language arts are the vehicles of communication by which we live, work, share, and build ideas and understandings of the present, reflect on the past, and imagine the future. Through the English language arts, we learn to appreciate, integrate, and apply what is learned for real purposes in our homes, schools, communities, and workplaces.
We believe that the knowledge, skills, and strategies of the English language arts are integrated throughout the curriculum, enabling students to solve problems and think critically and creatively in all subject areas.
Ideas, experiences, and cultural perspectives we discover in texts help us shape our vision of the world. The insights we gain enable us to understand our cultural, linguistic, and literary heritages.
To create, cultivate, motivate, and inspire English language arts learners who practice and appreciate personal, social, occupational, and civic literacy.
The English department is excited about the learning opportunities we will have this year! Yearbook, Poetry Club, and Film study are only a few of the bright spots in your future. Be ready to share with us what we read over the summer!
