There is no Frigate like a Book

To take us Lands away

Nor any Coursers like a Page

Of prancing Poetry –

This Traverse may the poorest take

Without oppress of Toll –

How frugal is the Chariot

That bears the Human Soul –

-Emily Dickinson, 1286

Welcome to the RFH English Department! We are looking forward to helping our students examine, analyze, and discuss relevant themes and issues through classical and contemporary texts and lenses! The staff is excited to work and collaborate with colleagues, the community, parents, and students for a productive, safe, and successful school year, wherever it may take us. The RFH English Department will continue to strive to challenge the hearts and minds of all students through reading and writing, and we look forward to making this school year another wonderful experience for all.
