The high school English/Language Arts curriculum provides a wide variety of courses, incorporating a range of specialized opportunities, to meet the needs, interests, and abilities of all students. The entrance requirements for each course are largely determined by teacher recommendation and the input of your child’s counselor, particular assessment where appropriate, and prior school achievement.

Personal and active involvement of the individual student in the learning process is again an important element of effective learning at the high school level. The English/Language Arts program provides students with a broad base of skills, strategies and abilities to enable them to adapt to and prepare for their role in a changing world. It encourages students to value their abilities to communicate competently, confidently and effectively. The program empowers students to pursue their interests in lifelong learning.

By the time students graduate from Council Rock High School they will have demonstrated their ability to meet the Council Rock English/Language Arts Standards regarding what they know, understand and are able to do in reading; composing orally and in writing; listening, speaking, viewing; and in researching. They will have also completed a graduation project, a requirement to graduate from Council Rock School District.
