The Senior High English Department deals with literature and grammar. It is hoped that an intense study of literature will give students an insight into the society in which they live and thus prepare them to cope with people that they will meet in later life. English 10 students study the basic structure of fiction and the craftsmanship of writing. An emphasis is placed on the short story. Eleventh grade English is concerned with American Literature, while 12th grade English deals with English Literature. Themes and compositions are emphasized in all three grades. Speech and Pre-College Composition complete the English portion of the language arts offered at Mound. Speech class is extremely important in that it cultivates one's expression and teaches him to speak in front of others. Pre-College Comp is designed to devclope one’s writing ability in the areas of themes and essays. 12
