English
To develop the ability to think clearly, read thoughtfully, communicate effectively, listen intelligently, and understand literature not only as a source of information and enjoyment, but also as a record of human thought and spirit through the ages, as a guide, therefore, to a clear perspective of the conflicting ideas and ideals of today's world.
History and Social Studies
To increase the students' capacity to understand the world in which they live; to inform them of the historical process which produced that world; to encourage them to think critically and to evaluate objectively by seeking solutions to contemporary problems and by interpreting issues of the past; and to prepare them for enlightened, active citizenship in this culturally diverse society.
