What You'll Study

In accordance with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), the overall mission of the Gilroy High English Department is to promote college and career readiness through literacy — specifically the ability to read, write and think critically. The department will also provide relevant English language opportunities through discourse, listening, viewing and speaking. Literacy and media works, selected for both content and style, will promote humanistic attitudes, aesthetic appreciation, multicultural awareness, critical evaluation, and 21st-century skills.
