English

Program Leader:  Jessica De Simone

English is a compulsory course from Grades 9 to 12, and strong communication skills are key to success in any field. Strong English skills open doors! Some students go on to study English literature in college or university, but no matter what path you take after high school, the Centennial English Department is here to help you build the critical thinking and communication skills you’ll need for success in life.

In Grade 10 students will also be writing the OSSLT (Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test) in the Fall. Our teachers provide students the tools that they need to be successful, as this is a graduation requirement. 

If you have any questions, feel free to call the school and ask for Mrs. Jessica De Simone, our Program Leader or reach out to your child's English teacher. We're happy to help in any way that we can!
