About the English Language Arts Department
The
English Department offers a wide variety of courses designed to fulfill

provide a balanced literacy program that develops the literacy skills
necessary for college, career success, and full participation as

for an integrated curriculum, Northport's well designed and

experience that affect the quality of life.
