With countless English classes offered at Forest Hills Central, the opportunities to learn from literature are endless; yet, certain books litter the English department’s curriculum.

With interviews with English teachers and students from all sides of the English department, these articles dive deep into the history of required reading, why it’s necessary, and how it’s beneficial to the education of our students.
