Mission
The English department is driven to prepare our students for college and the workforce in this competitive world. A student’s greatest instrument to success is to use literature to understand their world and themselves, and to help them to articulate their thoughts clearly, both orally and in writing. This tool for success is achieved through reading and understanding literature, the writing process, critical thinking, and speaking and listening skills.
Throughout our students four year course of study our department will expose and guide students to the mastery of such skills. It is this department’s mission for our students to move on to post-secondary education and workforce with the knowledge and skills not only to compete but succeed in this competitive market.
