*A note for parents: AP Language, Senior Composition, and English Literature classes use Google classroom. This means all assignments, calendars, and resources for those classes are posted on the Classroom, not on this website. If you would like to be invited to be able to view your student's classroom through the parent view, please don't hesitate to contact me with that request.
