Diversity Keynotes New Department The most obvious change in the English department exists in the fact that there no longer is one. A similar fate befell the Foreign Language Department when both groups were consolidated to form the Language Arts Department. Headed by Mrs. Georgia Baumann, the Language Arts Department encompasses, in grades 7-12, all English and Foreign Lan- guage courses.
