Mission Statement

As a result of having been in English classes from the ninth through twelfth grade, Santa Rosa High School students will communicate effectively, access information by various means, think critically and problem solve in a timely manner, successfully meet state standards, and will achieve success through efficient organizational and time management skills. The rich educational experience provided by the English Department will produce young adults who will become active, fulfilled, and positive contributors to the community who will be prepared for entry into the workforce and/or continued education.

"A classic is a book that never finished saying what it has to say."

― Italo Calvino, The Uses of Literature
