English

The English department of South Hadley High School recognizes the importance of success in the English Language Arts in becoming an informed and productive member of society. In alignment with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for English Language Arts and Literacy, the English courses are designed to produce effective speakers, discerning listeners, perceptive readers, and clear, persuasive writers. By the successful completion of senior year, students will have read a number of American and world authors, discussed and debated many ethical and social issues, and expressed views in varied oral and written forms.
