WELCOME PARENTS:


The English Department and I welcome you to West Orange High School.  The Honors English 10 curriculum is meant to be a challenging and rigorous course that will prepare your students for advanced placement courses (AP Composition and AP Literature), the SATs and the college or university of their choice.

It is my goal to foster a close-knit classroom where students can freely express and share their ideas and insights on the texts and literature reviewed in class as well as develop the writing and communication skills that will serve as the vehicle for that expression.

This blog site was created as a technology-based supplement that offers resources, links and a forum for continued communication of the discussions that take place in the classroom.  Everything the students need for this course can be found on this page and they have access to it at all times.

I am enjoying my sophomore students IMMENSELY and look forward to a productive and positive learning experience throughout the rest of the school year.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns:  edepalo@woboe.org
