 The English program provides a comprehensive study of language and literature. Essential to any society are its language and literature. They define and connect us as a people. They enable us to preserve traditions, to create and maintain community, and to envision the future. Through language and literature we understand ourselves, we contribute to society, and we express the human spirit. It is the mission of English teachers to cultivate in each of our students proficiency in and appreciate of language and literature.
