Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Lenox District Curriculum
Lenox Memorial Middle and High’s English and social studies department contains eight educators who are experts in their field, with three of those teachers owning PHDs. These two content areas are lumped together because the curricular goal is for them to be interdisciplinary as often as possible. In fact, the Humanities course, which is offered to seniors, earns students credits in both subjects as they are exposed to American Literature as well as European and American History.
English and history are also reading-centered and theme-based. The school has a partnership with the nationally renowned Shakespeare & Co. theater troupe, which allows Lenox students to attend a three-day Shakespearean festival and sees company members serve as adjunct professors in the Humanities course. The high school encourages students to take the multitude of honors and AP courses it has available and offers three world languages, 14 elective classes in the arts, and practical internships for juniors and seniors.

Chalk Talk: Commonly Confused Words
It can be easy for students to mix up commonly confused words. "Chord" and "cord" are commonly confused; it's the former that is a group of musical notes. "Counsel" and "council" may be used incorrectly, with the former meaning to give advice to someone and the latter being a group of people who make decisions. It is extremely common to see "desert" and "dessert" used incorrectly. "Desert" refers to a very hot, dry environment, while "dessert" is a sweet food. Another example is "dual"—two parts—and "duel"--a battle between two people. The word "loose" is often used instead of "lose." The former means the opposite of tight or to set free, and the latter means to misplace something, One more: The roof of one's mouth is referred to as "palate," while "palette" is a board for mixing paints.
