Dear High School Families,
It is our goal to prepare students thoroughly for the rigors of college or career. I asked our English Department Chair, Mrs. McFadden, to briefly share from our English scope and learning objectives:
"When students arrive in high school, their challenges in reading and writing increase with more independence being expected. 9th graders encounter two classics of Western literature: Romeo & Juliet and The Odyssey, while 10th graders grapple with questions of loyalty and faith in Sophocles' play Antigone and Night, Elie Wiesel's memoir of the trauma of the Holocaust. 11th graders begin literary analysis with Macbeth, while The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis provides a commentary of sorts. Our 12th graders analyze many contemporary issues in short pieces as well as in C.S. Lewis's classic Mere Christianity. We also offer both Advanced Placement English classes: AP English Literature & Composition and AP English Language and Composition for students who desire a college-level English experience. Our graduates head off to college or career confidently able to produce clear, logical, and well-developed writing and speaking that communicates their ideas in persuasive ways."
In His Service,
Joseph Rowland
