About the English Language Arts Department

The English Department offers a wide variety of courses designed to fulfill the state requirements for graduation and encourage student growth as readers, writers, and thinkers. The English Department strives to provide a balanced literacy program that develops the literacy skills necessary for college, career success, and full participation as citizens. In accordance with NYS Education Department's recommendations for an integrated curriculum, Northport's well designed and comprehensive program enables students to use language to gain information, discover meaning, make critical judgments and evaluations about texts, formulate viewpoints and arguments, discover the value of reading, writing, and thinking critically, and explore issues of human experience that affect the quality of life.
