"Educating our students...to achieve their maximum potential."
Aligned with the Common Core Standards, English courses at Raritan High School provide relevant English language opportunities in reading literature and informational text, writing, listening, viewing, speaking and critical thinking. Experiences and activities will help students become discriminating users of both print and non-print media. Literary traditions of the past influence contemporary works; therefore, our selection of materials seeks to balance the classics with more modern works as we study literature in order to better understand ourselves and our world. Literary, informational and media works, selected for excellence in both content and style, will promote college and career readiness, humanistic attitudes, aesthetic appreciation, multicultural awareness, and critical evaluation skills.
