Elevating Voices.

Recognizing the power of the spoken and written word to inform, inspire, and transform, the English Department helps students become critical thinkers, discerning readers, proficient writers, and eloquent speakers. The department maintains rigorous standards, offers exciting courses, and provides opportunities for students to participate in academic contests and to publish their work.

Throughout the English curriculum, teachers highlight the interconnectedness of literature, history, and culture. During the course of their studies, students will become familiar with great writers and thinkers of American, British, and world literature and will read texts from the 11th century through present day.
