The English department at CJSHS will continue to improve student literacy, writing and oral communication. English 9 and English 10 are year long classes that offer a general curriculum with differentiation for higher achievers and students who need additional support. Advanced Placement Language and Composition is offered as an alternative to American Literature (English 11). Senior level English classes are offered for a variety of interests, including English 12 and two dual credit semester classes, Speech and Written Communications. Students in 10th through 12th grades are encouraged to take Mass Media and Technology, a semester English elective that explores broadcast and written journalism.
