Language Arts
The English Department at Rocklin High School is dedicated to equipping students with a strong foundation in language arts, focusing on reading, writing, oral and written English conventions, and listening and speaking strategies. All courses align with the California English-Language Arts Content Standards for grades 9–12 and are designed to develop essential communication and critical thinking skills.
To meet the high school graduation requirement, students must be enrolled in an English class each semester through graduation, earning a total of 40 credits. Rocklin High offers a well-rounded progression of courses, including Language Arts I, II, III, and IV, with advanced and honors options available to support academic growth and rigor. Advanced Placement (AP) English is also available for students seeking college-level challenges, preparing them for success beyond high school.
