English Department Vision Statements

Guiding principles for what we teach:

We believe:

-    That setting high fluency standards is worthwhile because all students will benefit from having the ability to communicate correctly and coherently, especially in a written format.

-      That studying literature from a variety of time periods, genres, and cultures is invaluable in teaching students to think, question, analyze, connect,empathize, and reflect.

-      That through sharpening effective reading and writing skills, we empower students to find success in every other field of study.
