English Department

Mission Statement:

Hackensack High School's English Department is dedicated to promoting excellence by instructing students in various modes of engaging, inquiring, and learning through intensive study of language, and by involving them in creating, comprehending, and interpreting different kinds of text within a variety of media. We strive in aiding our students to become independent thinkers who utilize the acts of reading, writing, and speech to observe the vast expanse of history in relation to the contemporary issues of the day. Ultimately, we strive to encourage and implement a curriculum that is both relevant and exciting to our students, so that all students develop strong literacy and communication skills in preparation to make constructive contributions to our society.
