English / Overview

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT

The English department at Grosse Pointe South is proud to offer a wide range of engaging, meaningful courses. Our dedicated educators are committed to helping students grow as readers, writers, speakers, and critical thinkers. We seek to help students thrive as individual learners and thoughtful, contributing members of a larger community.

Here at South, students can strengthen and refine their voice in several ways, including: curriculum and text-selection feedback; ongoing course discussions, presentations, and projects; writing clubs and workshops; and through our award-winning publications, The Tower, The Tower Pulse, and The Looking Glass.
