English

The guiding belief of the MHVP English Department is simple but powerful: proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and listening forms the foundation of achievement in all academic areas.

​

For this reason, the English Department strives to give students the literacy skills they need to succeed in school and the workplace. As they discuss universal themes in literature, students learn to listen critically and defend their views orally and in writing.

The English program is a four-year sequence offering Regent's track courses in grades 9 through 12. Special programs include grade-level honor classes, high school extension programs offering college credit courses, HIP HOP classes, and reading and writing acceleration classes. In addition to studying literature and oral and written communication skills, each course offers specialized units that address such areas as media study.

​

*Honor classes are offered to students based on teacher recommendation*
