Grade 12 graduates have an opportunity to earn one of two academic achievement certificates in English. The University Award is given to the student with the highest academic standing in a University level English course and the College Award is given to the student with the highest academic standing in the College level English course.
When offered, students who enjoy English might be interested in joining the school newspaper, the creative writing club, or the debate club. Periodically, opportunities for students to participate in writing contests arise. Students interested in creative writing contests are encouraged to join the creative writing club.
