Mission For The Class

The Reading Acceleration Program is designed to offer small group and 
individualized instruction in reading decoding and comprehension.  The goal 
is to provide students with skills, strategies, and techniques that will 
enable them to be more successful in high school and beyond.

The HSA Mastery course is an elective semester course for students who failed
the English HSA.  This course fulfills the requirement for appropriate
assistance to English HSA non-masters.  Students take the english HSA during
the administration closest to the end of the course in October 2008, and
January 2009.

The SAT Prep course is an elective semester course for students whose goals
are to develop writing, critical reading and critical thinking skills in order
to improve their score on the SAT's or to gain skills required to become
proficient.
