Our purpose as an ELA department is to inspire a love and appreciation of language and literature and to empower students with the skills to use language and literacy effectively in their own lives. We do this through curriculum and classrooms that develop critical thinking; that provide students with diverse and rich texts and experiences; and develop sophisticated skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening.
