Students in Mrs. Porter’s AP Language and Composition class brought The Scarlet Letter to life today during a gallery walk! Tasked with designing their own version of the iconic "A," each student created a unique interpretation to represent a key argument in the novel.

AP English scholars from Ms. Wiksell's and Mrs. Porter's classes traveled to UNO on their day off to attend 120 Years of Dracula: From Myth to Movies and Much, Much More, featuring a talk by none other than Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, author of Dracula.

Folks who have followed this feed know I don't like to commit to superlatives, like the best ever, etc... But, there is no question that the greatest letter sweater in Nebraska history belonged to Omaha Central's Gale Sayers.

Taylor Swift just announced the release of a new song called “The Albatross” and that noise you hear is every literature teacher in the country shrieking with joy at the prospect of getting to teach “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”

AP Lang students worked with the brilliant Mrs. Kawecki this week to prepare for their rhetorical analysis final. Kawecki spent time curating a memoir list for students to read and practice analysis. Central is lucky to have great librarians! @OPSCHSLib @OPSCentralHigh
