Alexander Pope Education is the catalyst which creates the adult and implants within him the unsatisfied hunger for more knowledge. It is the goal of a complete and dynamic being, the synthesis of true desire and concentrated effort to acquire learning. It is the product of eager exploration, by the students and expert direction by the faculty. Education is enrichment.

Realizing that a knowledge of English forms the basis of all other learning, the English department of Valdosta High School has set as its objectives ease in self-expression, use of a broader vocab- ulary, and a clearer understanding of life through literature. Regardless of their post-graduate plans, all students will need a thorough com- mand of their language. For the college- bound students, book reports, themes, and research papers teach judgment and logical presentation of thought. Students planning to enter the business world place emphasis on grammar and public speaking units. And, because modern society demands a knowledge of international civilizations, students are given an insight into the culture of modern nations through the study of European and American writings.
