| The
English Department at Washington High School consists of a progressive,
knowledgeable and energetic staff who have high standards for
all students of all academic levels.
We have infused the latest technology into classes and are always
willing to implement new programs for increased student academic
success.
We offer a variety of courses, including P.A.T classes at every
grade level, ESL American Authors, and advanced courses such as
University Prep English, and AP Literature.
We also believe
that long term learning comes from applying the content area across
the curriculum; therefore, our department offers several multi-disciplinary
courses.
Student begin
with English 9 in the Freshmen Success Academy (4 teachers - English,
Math, Civics, Integrated Science). In grades 10-12, students have
the opportunity to take English classes in career focused academies
(Creative Arts and Manufacturing, Finance, Information Technology,
Science & Health, Travel & Tourism) English/Biology, P.A.T
World Literature/P.A.T World History, or P.A.T American Authors/AP
U.S History.
No matter
if students have a vocational, technical, junior college, or four
year university focus, Washington High School's English department
will prepare students for all of their future goals.
