English
No matter what path a student pursues after graduation, the skills of reading critically, writing analytically and speaking effectively are essential to success. Students get plenty of practice in these areas during their four years at Presentation High School. Returning graduates often mention how prepared they feel for college-level writing and understanding complex texts in their college classes. Presentation English courses introduce students to a variety of literary styles that expand students’ depth of knowledge about a range of subjects, while introducing them to diverse perspectives and cultural influences.
Student Spotlight Angela Gill ’21 “English classes at Presentation have helped me develop an intricate and nuanced way of understanding not only literature, but the world around me. Each teacher’s passion for English is evident through their deep analysis of concepts and open-mindedness about all ideas. These are two ideologies that are extremely critical to have while looking at all aspects of today’s ever-evolving society.””
