English Department
The Stafford English Department offers core language arts courses for grades 9-12, as well as a variety of specialized courses and electives. Our courses focus on the essential skills of reading, writing, research, communication, and media literacy.
English 9-10 provide a survey of literary genres and styles. English 11 studies American Literature. English 12 explores British and European Literature.
For advanced studies, we offer Honors English 9-11, AP Language and Composition (grade 11), and AP Literature and Composition (grade 12). Twelfth grade students also have the option of taking a Dual Enrollment course to earn college credit through Germanna Community College.
We encourage students to consider English elective courses as well! Our Creative Writing classes guide students to find their own voice and style as writers, and students publish works in our award-winning literary magazine.
Our award-winning Journalism and Photojournalism programs are an exciting way to apply reading, writing, and communication skills to the real world. The Smoke Signal newspaper keeps up with the fast-paced pulse of SHS student life, while the SHS Yearbook commemorates the year with style.
