Green Level High School follows the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for English/Language Arts, which utilizes Common Core standards for Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening, and Language. Our goal is to empower students to become intellectual investigators, critical thinkers, and effective communicators who are prepared for college, career, and active citizenship in a dynamic global community. 

English students at Green Level will explore the universal concepts of Home and Family, Identity and Culture, Conformity and Rebellion, and Tradition and Progress from four unique perspectives. Ninth graders will work from a personal lens, exploring each topic as it relates to them as individuals. Tenth graders will explore the same topics from a global perspective. Eleventh graders will examine the way that historical, legal, and institutional forces have shaped our understanding of each topic, and twelfth graders will re-examine each topic from a psychological lens.

High school students must earn four core English credits in order to graduate: English I, English II, English III, and English IV. 

In the Green Level English Department, we value the diversity of our school community and seek to reflect it in our curriculum design. We are committed to providing challenging, engaging, and student-centered instruction and to the use of equitable policies and practices in our classrooms. We believe that every student possesses unique potential, and we look forward to working with you to make the most of yours!

Vision: In today's globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina's 21st century education.

The ability to communicate with others is central to human nature. Throughout the ages, humans have been able to share information, interests, needs, and values over time and space and, thus, have influenced others by their actions and their words. In recent years, technology tools have brought the world closer and have erased many of the existing borders. As boundaries between countries are dissolving, the need for learning world languages has become a necessary component for linking with the rest of the world and for producing an enlightened citizenship able to function in today's global marketplace.

The high school graduation requirements follow the University of North Carolina (UNC) System minimum admission requirements which are "two credits in the same second language or demonstration of proficiency in a language other than English as determined by the local educational agency (LEA)."
