The Language Arts program at North Springs is strong and balanced, connecting students’ lives to the lives of others through great literature. Students have opportunities to read and respond critically to literature, to write creatively, expressively, and analytically, to develop effective oral language skills, to investigate and present topics of interest using research methods, and to use media and technology to communicate for a variety of purposes. Most courses are available on regular and honors level and for juniors and seniors, Advanced Placement (AP) classes are offered. All students are required to have four Language Arts credits as part of their core curriculum courses needed to graduate.
The Language Arts program at North Springs is also noted for its Honors Colloquiums, and award-winning Oracle student newspaper, and The Echo literary magazine. Students also produce the yearbook The Phalanx, providing experience in photo journalism, writing and layout.
