English I and Dual Credit I & II

February is Black History Month
The Variant Welcomes You
Mr. and Mrs. Payne

Hello Students and Parents,

I am thrilled to be able to help you on your journey to achieve greatness. I teach English I for our freshman students as well as dual enrollment English Composition for juniors and seniors.

In English I we develop greater understanding for how to appreciate literature and follow the writing process to create academic compositions.

Upon successful completion of Dual Comp 1 & 2 the student will have 6 college English credits on their transcript, giving them a head start on their college education and lessening the burden they will carry as they move on to their next step and completing the English Comp requirements for many degrees. College credits also give our military-bound students promotion points to start their career with.

My office hours are from 2:05 to 3:45 if you need any additional help feel free to stop by, send me a Remind, or email me.
