English I addresses four strands of literacy: Reading, both literary and informational texts, Writing, including research, Listening and Speaking, and Language. Students read a variety of fiction and nonfiction, including short stories, poetry, drama, novels, and literary nonfiction and informational texts. Writing involves the modes of narrative, informative/explanatory, and argument with an emphasis on providing relevant and ample evidence with commentary to support a claim.

Students in English I Honors have demonstrated above grade level skills in reading and writing and an ability to work independently and collaboratively. As in English I, students read a variety of increasingly complex tests and write in various modes, with the additional expectation of extended reading, writing, and research.

English II addresses four strands of literacy: Reading, both literary and informational texts, Writing, including research, Listening and Speaking, and Language. Students complete a survey of thematically aligned units, including a variety of books, fiction and nonfiction, short stories, poetry, drama, literary nonfiction and informational texts. Writing involves the modes of narrative, informative/explanatory, and argument with an emphasis on providing relevant and ample evidence and commentary to support a claim while using increasingly sophisticated structures.

Students in English II Honors have successfully completed English I Honors or demonstrated above grade level skills in reading and writing and an ability to work independently and collaboratively. As in English II, students read a variety of increasingly complex texts and write in a variety of modes, with the additional expectation of extended reading, writing, and research.

English III continues to develop skills in the four strands of Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking, and Language through a survey of American Literature in thematically aligned units. Students are expected to read and analyze complex works of literary nonfiction, as well as a wide spectrum of genres of American literature, and produce ample evidence to support inferences.

Students in English III Honors have successfully completed English II Honors and have demonstrated above grade level skills in reading and writing and an ability to work independently and collaboratively. Student writing is heavily focused on analytical writing. Students must successfully complete at least one or more extended reading and writing assignments related to the quarter's content.

English IV continues to develop and refine skills in Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking, and Language through a survey of British Literature in thematically aligned units. Students are expected to read and analyze complex works of literary nonfiction, as well as a wide spectrum of various genres of British literature and produce ample evidence to support inferences.

Students in English IV Honors have successfully completed English III Honors and have demonstrated above grade level skills in reading and writing. Student writing is heavily focused on analytical writing. Students will develop increasingly sophisticated writing structures, blending modes of narrative, informative/explanatory, and argument/opinion.

AP English Language and Composition cultivates the reading and writing skills that students need for college success and for intellectually responsible civic engagement. The course focuses on the development and revision of evidence-based analytic and argumentative writing, the rhetorical analysis of nonfiction texts, and the decisions writers make as they compose and revise.

In the AP English Literature and Composition course, students devote themselves to the study of literary works written in—or translated into—English. This course focuses on reading, analyzing, and writing about imaginative literature (fiction, poetry, drama) from various periods. Students engage in close reading and critical analysis of imaginative literature to deepen their understanding of the ways writers use language to provide both meaning and pleasure.

Algebra I is the initial math course for high school students. It provides the foundation students require for future success in mathematics. Algebra I emphasizes linear and quadratic expressions, equations, inequalities, and functions. The course also introduces students to absolute value functions and exponential functions with integer exponents. Throughout the course, students explore the structures of and interpret functions and other mathematical models.

Algebra II further expands a student's understanding of functions and function types developed in Algebra I. Cubic, exponential, inverse, logarithmic, piecewise, and radical functions are studied. Students explore techniques for representing and solving systems of equations, including graphically, algebraically, and using matrices. In addition, Algebra II includes a more in-depth focus on using statistics to understand data and make decisions.
