English is required in all three years of high school with an ulti- mate goal of three credits earned. English is given to facilitate stu- dents' use of their native language and to read with understanding translations of foreign works. By reading Shakespeare and one novel per year, they accomplish this. Every student is familiar with a grammar workbook and the exer- cises contained within.

To cope with this situation, R.H.S. has a very complete of- fering in these fields.
