"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them." - Mark Twain
The Holy Names High School English department guides students to develop skills in expository writing and literary analysis.
We seek to enable our students to enrich their lives with a variety of real choices for self-expression, to read, speak, and write their own language competently and effectively so that they may function as educated people in a society which values education.

Graduation requirement: four years of English.

All courses are certified as meeting the requirements for admission to the University of California and California State University systems.
