Addison Trail English Department

The Addison Trail English Department seeks to develop enthusiastic readers, convincing writers, thoughtful listeners, and persuasive speakers. By exposing students to a variety of readings and guiding them through an array of written assignments, we hope they leave our courses prepared for success in any post-secondary setting. We offer traditional English courses and a number of elective courses: AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature and Composition, Introduction to Theatre Arts, Acting I, Acting II, New Humanities Cinema, Creative Writing, and Publications (yearbook and newspaper). The English Department offers Dual Credit/Collegiate credit options through its English 12 CC, English 12 DC, Hidden Voices, and AP Literature courses.  Transitional English Credit is achieved through the Rhetoric of Contemporary Topics course. Support for student writers is provided in our Writing Center which is located in room 210A.
