Welcome to English 9 and English Honors 9!
Introduction to the Class:
Hi everyone! I am thrilled to meet you and walk alongside you this year! I know this year will bring many challenges and joys, but through it all, this class will be a place of learning and growth. You will make mistakes, and so will I; but, it will be from those mistakes that we will learn and grow. We will work hard in this class, build relationships with our peers, and hopefully gain new perspectives about life and about ourselves. The stories and texts that we will read are powerful. Let them change you. I am on your team, and my deepest desire is for you to succeed. Please let me know how I can help you this year. Welcome to high school class of 2028!!!
