Summer Reading

To encourage continued learning during the summer months and to prepare students to begin the fall English program, the English department has a required summer reading program for grades 9-12.  

Each student should have a personal copy (electronic or hardcopy are acceptable) of the novel for use in the classroom the first two weeks of school and be prepared to take a test on the reading. 

Please do not attempt to use a movie version of the novel in conjunction with or in place of reading the book. Movie versions are often different from the original and may confuse you.

Enjoy your summer reading adventure!
