In language arts classes at Boulder High, students develop their critical thinking, reading, and writing skills.
Boulder High School Language Arts Department provide students with the opportunity to become flexible writers who can compose in a variety of modes and for a variety of purposes. Through the close reading of selected texts, students deepen their understanding of the ways writers use language to provide both meaning and pleasure for their readers. Language arts offers advanced courses at the freshman and sophomore levels and Advanced Placement courses at the junior and senior levels. We also provide a variety of communication, literature, and writing electives including Newspaper, Yearbook, Theater, Public Speaking, and Video & Film Production.
The Academic Planning Guide (APG) and the course selection videos on the BHS Academic Planning Website are great resources to use when selecting your courses. This list of courses provides the most up to date course offering information including the course number, course description, credits and requirements. The Curriculum Essentials Document also provides useful information. For NCAA Course eligibility, please view the BHS NCAA Information Website.
