In order to help us communicate with other people, Dearborn High offers four foreign languages and English. Everyone is required to have four years of English before graduation, and students planning to attend college usually desire to have two years of another language. There is a wide choice of classes in the English department, for there are courses for both commercial and college preparatory students. French, German, Latin, and Spanish are the four foreign languages offered. Supplementing the English department are the library and the speech clinic, which aids those with speech defects.
