The CHS English Department is committed to giving students a strong background in all language arts skills:

Writing
Reading
Listening and speaking strategies
Written and oral language conventions

All courses meet the: California English-Language Content Standards for California Public Schools for Grades 9-12

Students must be enrolled in an English course every semester until graduation. A total of 40 credits earned are required for graduation, with 30 credits earned in grades 10-12.

Courses are of four basic types:

English 9
English 10
Junior/Senior Core Curriculum of courses offering a mixed concentration on all language arts skills (oral and written expression, listening and reading experiences). Junior and Seniors should be enrolled in the core curriculum.
Specialized electives concentrating on specific skill or interest areas

Although all courses in the English program are of potential value to all students, the courses preceded by a "P" meet college entrance requirements, and therefore are recommended for the college-bound student.
