ENGLISH

The English Department is comprised of five instructors. Mrs. Amy Scaff serves as the department head along with a great team of English teachers which include Paul Clark, Cameron Gentile, and Maddison Langston.

Be sure to check out each teacher's bio, club sponsorships, and courses that they teach.

To graduate, students MUST have a minimum of four years of ELA (English Language Arts) courses. Traditionally....

FRESHMAN - ENG 1 (or Pre-AP)

SOPHOMORES - ENG 2 (or Pre-AP)

JUNIORS - ENG 3 or Dual Credit

SENIORS - ENG 4, Dual Credit, or other option

High school English is unique because there are also two STAAR tests.... ENG 1 and ENG 2 that must be passed as a state requirement for graduation. These are first taken during the freshman and sophomore years along with the corresponding course. Our instructors work hard to make sure that students have the necessary tools to conquer the reading and writing components of this state mandated assessment.
