SUMMER READING

Our goal at Fletcher High School is to continue academic learning throughout the summer months.

     Each summer, all students will read a combination of required texts chosen from the College Board  suggested reading list. 

 Students in honors classes must read a second novel from the suggested list.

  Students in both AP and AICE classes must complete the secondary assignment.

     All students will be tested on the required titles during the first week of English class through class activities, quizzes, and/or writing assignments.

 A student who chooses not to complete the reading will receive a failing grade on the assignment.
