    As students select courses, they are encouraged to enroll in the most rigorous course possible to best prepare for college and career. Ninth, tenth, and eleventh grades choose a full-year course:
     
    Course Progression
     
    English 1     English 1 Honors
    English 2   English 2 Enriched English 2 Honors
    English 3   English 3 Enriched AP Language and Composition
     
    Seniors elect a full year course - Enriched World Literature or Advanced Placement Literature and Composition - or choose from a variety of semester-long electives: Creative Writing, Critical Reading (Blended Option available), Media and Literature, or Writer's Workshop (Blended Option available).
     
    In addition to these core courses, students may also choose electives in Broadcast, Drama, Journalism, and/or Speech. Moreover, students are encouraged to re-enroll in Advanced Drama, Journalism Production, and Speech if they have great interest in exploring these areas in college or professionally. (Creative Writing may also be taken in addition to senior core courses as an elective.)
