Greetings from the Assistant Principal

Living Language! Empowering Voices! Celebrating diversity! The English as a New Language and World Languages Department immerses students in authentic learning experiences that honor the rich cultural heritage they collectively embody. Through intensive instruction and guided reflection, our students strengthen their skills and foster their passion to speak their minds from their hearts. In a global economy and pluralistic society, our students graduate prepared to compete and to inspire as multilingualism and multiculturalism open opportunities alongside communication. We offer six languages: Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean, Latin, and Spanish.
