Students who plan to attend a university have four years of English.  All English courses include work in the areas of reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary and spelling.  Students must earn passing grades in the required English classes.  Students who fail required courses must make up credit in summer school in approved electives.

Students may be placed in sections according to achievement.  Students are required to pass a District proficiency test in reading and writing before graduation.  There will also be provisions for academically talented and advanced students in designated sections.  English teachers will counsel their students at the end of each year regarding course selection for the following year.  English courses in career pathway classes meet California State English/Language Arts standards. 

An extra-class reading requirement exists for all students at EHS (600 pages for CP level students; 300 pages for Pre-CP). Choices must be made from the accelerated reader book list. The Accelerated Reader Book List is available to assist students and parents in selecting interesting and engaging reading selections based on each student's individual reading grade level as tested during the first weeks of school.
