Our Mission
The mission of the Hackettstown High School English Department is to inspire students to appreciate the universality of human experience through exposure to the written word in its many forms; to encourage them to think independently, creatively and analytically; to strengthen their skills of self-expression, both written and oral; and to build their understanding of the history and structure of the English language.
