The English department lives in the N building. Until the 2022-2023 school year, most English courses taught multiple grades.
Lower rotation
Freshmen and sophomores formerly participated in the lower rotation. Freshmen can now take a yearlong class of English 9 (College-Prep Lane) or English 9A (Advanced Lane), and sophomores can now take a yearlong class of English 10 (College-Prep Lane) or English 10A (Advanced Lane).
Upper rotation
Juniors and Seniors participate in the upper rotation, consisting of an English elective and a required course.
