English Language Arts Mission Statement
The MISSION of the Watertown High School English Language Arts Department is to motivate students to develop an appreciation for human experience through exposure to literature of all kinds; to encourage them to think independently and analytically; to aid them in strength ening their skills of self-expression, both written and oral; and to assist them in building an understanding of the history and structure of the English language.
