Student Bulletin School Digest Scholarship Bulletin Student Bulletin I would like to remind you that all English and English Honors students will be required to complete a summer reading project. IB and AP students have alternative summer reading requirements. The summer reading lists were distributed to all English and English Honors students prior to the end of the school year. The books on this list are available free of charge due to the generosity of the Hobe Sound Community Chest.
