English & Communications

Welcome to the English & Communications Department!

The mission of the Argo English & Communications Department is to develop students as stronger readers, writers, speakers, listeners, and thinkers. Through literature, writing, speaking, research, rhetoric, discussion, and analysis, students strengthen the communication and critical thinking skills needed for success at Argo, in college and careers, and in life. Students also develop media, visual, and technology literacy as they learn to evaluate and communicate information effectively.
