English is essential for developing critical reading, writing, and communication skills that are fundamental to success in any career or academic path. Over four years, students engage with a variety of literature, hone analytical thinking, and refine their ability to express ideas clearly and effectively. These skills not only prepare students for college and the workforce but also empower them to navigate and contribute meaningfully to an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Each student must be enrolled in one of the required English courses each year. To meet graduation requirements, student must earn 4 credits in English.
