Catalina Foothills High School

Our Mission

The overall mission of the CFHS English Department is to promote literacy--specifically the ability to read, write, and think critically. This mission includes the fostering of such technological literacy as information retrieval, research, and communication. Literate individuals can gather, analyze, and communicate information effectively as well as think creatively and draw independent conclusions. Our students are expected to construct viable arguments and to critique the reasoning of others. Finally, we are committed to preparing all students for future academic and/or career opportunities, by teaching them to be effective communicators and divergent thinkers.
