We will chronologically travel through the various literary periods to understand how and why literature both reflected and developed American ideology. Beginning with the Puritans, we will read and write about literary selections that span all the way to the 21st century.

English IV
- Teacher: Lisa Bliss
British Lit
If anyone ever tells you that writing is easy, they're either lying or they've never done it themselves. Even the best writers must work hard at their craft. In English IV Expository Writing, we will try our hand in writing for a multitude of purposes. We'll examine what good writers do and don't do, and we'll explore the various modes of writing. Come prepared to read and write. You wouldn't sign up to play football without expecting to practice, now would you?
English IV AP
- Teacher: Mr. Smith
The AP® English Literature and Composition course is designed to engage students in the reading of classical texts with both breadth and depth. Students are expected to read and critically analyze “imaginative” literature. In concert with the College Board’s AP English Course Description, the course's central tenet is “the pieces chosen invite and reward rereading and do not, like ephemeral works in such popular genres as detective or romance fiction, yield all (or nearly all) of their pleasures of thought and feeling the first time through.”

Beginning Photography is a fine arts/vocational prep course at HHS. Therefore, we will cover not only the artistic side of photography but also the technical side. The course will be taught using digital SLR cameras and Adobe Photoshop CS5 editing software. Some of the concepts to be covered include lighting, composure, technique, editing, printing, and mounting. Students will also learn about the many outlets for photography including photojournalism, portraiture, commercial and fine art photography. Photography students will spend time taking pictures on campus and then critiquing them in classroom discussions. Lecture, group work, presentations, and research/writing projects will also be utilized to cover the course material.
Advanced Photography is a fine arts/vocational prep course at HHS. Therefore, we will cover not only the artistic side of photography but also the technical side. The course will be taught using digital SLR cameras and Adobe Photoshop CS3 software. Because this is an advanced course some of the material will be self-selected based on students’ personal interests in photography. Advanced photography students will spend time taking pictures on campus and then critiquing them in classroom discussions. Lecture, group work, presentations, and research/writing projects will also be utilized to cover the course material.
The object of this course is to use a hands-on approach to introduce the basic concepts in robotics, focusing on mobile robots and there applications. Course information will be tied to lectures and lab experiments; students will work in teams to build and test increasingly more complex LEGO, VEX, ADRIANO-based mobile robots, culminating in an end-of-semester robot contest. This course introduces fundamental concepts in Robotics. In this course, basic concepts will be discussed, including coordinate transformations, sensors, path planning, kinematics, feedback and feed forward control, stressing the importance of integrating sensors, effectors and control. These topics will be exemplified with LEGO, VEX, ADRIANO, Robotics kits and labs. The last part of the course will focus on applying the knowledge from the initial lectures in the key approaches to mobile robot control (reactive, behavior,-based, and hybrid), and briefly discuss robot learning and multi-robot systems. In the lab, robot kits will be used in a bi-weekly exercises illustrating lecture material; the last month of the lab will be spent in applying the learned material to a final project, in which the students will design and build a robot for a final competition. This course is intended for students with a interest in Robotics. Visual Computing, C/C++, and Gaming.
Prerequisites none; but a strong foundation in Math and Science, and the ability to work well independently and in a group setting a must.
