Communication is the foundation to our
humanity. The English Language Arts
curriculum strives to make
all students successful by the practice of
those reading, writing and oral skills that promote proficiency. Our
goal is their practical application to
whatever further educational path the student chooses. This is accomplished
through the undertaking of close, attentive
reading in complex works of literature and non-fiction. Students
will apply critical thinking and analytical
skills through oral and written work. These will be augmented by
vocabulary and grammar work. Upon the
successful completion of the course, the student will receive
one graduation credit. In addition, English III students will be
taking the English Language Arts Common Core
Exam in June 2017.
