English/Language Arts

The English Language Arts Department at David W. Carter High School is committed to developing students’ reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills. Through the study of literature, informational texts, and purposeful writing, students learn to analyze ideas, communicate effectively, and engage thoughtfully with the world around them.

ELA instruction emphasizes literacy, academic rigor, and real-world application, preparing students for college, careers, and responsible citizenship. The department supports student voice, cultural awareness, and lifelong learning through inclusive and engaging learning experiences.
