English
English teachers at Essex High School believe in the power of literacy; therefore, English courses focus on critical reading of literary and informational texts, effective writing and speaking skills, as well as vocabulary development. In selecting courses, students should consider their interests, abilities, and plans for the future.
It’s important to note that English courses at EHS are offered at multiple levels.
• 100 Courses are for students needing to work on basic reading, writing, and speaking skills. The pacing is slower and the depth of analysis is less intensive than similar Level 200 courses.
