Summer Reading Enrichment Opportunities for Advanced Placement
The Edison High School English Department is a well-rounded and rigorous four-year experience for all students. At the 9th and 10th grade levels we focus on breadth and fluency where students are provided with a rich and broad experience concentrated on reading and writing at the foundational level. At the 11th and 12th grade levels we seek to deepen student's understanding through an in-depth and rigorous exploration of longer and more complex texts coupled with a large number of writing opportunities resulting in a generous corpus. We offer a highly qualified group of teachers who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our department. Through their consistent collaborative efforts within and outside of the department, Edison High School continues to be one of the most sought after and high profile high schools in the valley. We welcome you to our department site and encourage you to explore and learn more about what makes Edison so great.
