Foreign language The Oil City foreign language program is one of the best in the area. Three different languages are available. French. Spanish. and German. Every teacher in this program has either studied, traveled or lived in a foreign country. Our language teachers have personal contact with people who live in foreign countries which keeps them up to date with the language and cultural changes. Four years of each language are offered. During these four years, the foreign language students are taught to speak, read, and write in their respective languages. As a supplement to the education of the students, the customs of the related countries are studied. The students learn what kinds of foods are eaten, how different holidays are celebrated, what kinds of clothes are worn, and the similarities and differences of foreign school systems to ours. The highlight of the program is the trips abroad. These trips give the students personal contact with the culture and language while having the times of their lives. Below: Joe. Kim, Robin.

English Department encourages essayists This year the English Department in coordination with the National Council of Teachers of English nominated two students from both the ninth and twelfth grades to participate in an essay contest. The English Department also co-sponsored, along with a local masonic organization, a tenth grade essay contest in which one sophomore was selected to write an essay titled What my family means to me. For the department in-service day program, a poet was invited to come to the school to talk with the English teachers about writing poetry and to discuss other writing skills. The regular English classes are divided by grade level and course. Academic English is aimed at students planning to go to college. Enriched English is for students who have demonstrated exceptional skill, knowledge, and interest in using their writing, reading, and analytical skills. General English is directed at students who seek employment after graduation from high school. Basic English is provided for students who feel the need for additional help in language skills, and Business English may be elected by those students wishing to prepare for secretarial and clerical occupations.
