Summer Assignments

Students are reminded that some classes, particularly AP (Advanced Placement) classes, have summer assignments.

​This year the English department has decided not to assign a particular text for summer reading and there will be no summer reading test. Instead, students are encouraged to read widely for enjoyment and also for expanding their understanding of the world we live in.
