English Language Arts

The OHS English department is comprised of approximately 20 teachers serving students through English Learner, Special Education, General Education, and Advanced Placement classes on the Orange High campus. Our department is committed to teaching students the importance of literacy, communication skills, and written skills that will serve them in all highs school classes as well as in their lives post-graduation. Students are introduced to complex texts in all grade levels and practice communicating, collaborating, and writing effectively about texts by sharing their opinions and learning to value the opinions of others. As we move forward with our new curriculum adoption of Pearson: MyPerspectives, our department is excited to create a rigorous and exciting environment for all students to learn and grow.
