Sigma Tau Delta is an English student honor society which meets on a regular basis and plans events throughout the year. Past events have included visiting author Jackie Jacson, visiting humorist Ernie Witham, visiting poet Nave, and, of course, Poe in the Pit. Several of our students have attended the national Sigma Tau Delta convention and presented at related conferences. Watch for news about this year's Sigma Tau Delta activities.
