Course Requirements in English

All sophomores must take a one-credit course, English 10: American Literary Connections; junior students must take English 11: British Literary Connections; senior students must take English 12: Contemporary World Literature.  Courses must be taken in the above sequence.  For students with a special interest in English and communications, enrichment electives are recommended rather than the acceleration of course sequence.
 

The honors program is for college-bound students applying to colleges designated as most competitive, especially if students are planning to major in English, communications, or law.  Students in the most rigorous program should also consider electives such as SAT preparation.
 
 

The college bound program is for the majority of students planning on attending college.  Students in the standard college-bound program should also consider electives such as SAT preparation and Academic Writing.
 
 

The basic program is designed for students who are not planning to attend a four-year college.  Students with a particular aptitude or interest in English may also want to choose from the courses listed for the college-bound student.
 
 

A remedial program is also available for students who do not meet reading or writing competencies upon entering tenth grade.  These students will be assigned to English - Reading Laboratory to receive additional support prior to entering the regular English program.
