Mandatory Reading in schools

Can someone throw out some of the books kids are now required to read in High School?

Mandatory Reading in schools

I don't think that there are universally required books anymore. A few years ago when I taught 9th and 12th grade social studies, I remember my students reading Romeo and Juliet, Fahrenheit 451, A Streetcar Named Desire, Flowers for Algernon, and Inherit the Wind. That's all I can remember! This was like 4 years ago.

All schools are different. I teach HS English and I have taught the following:

Of Mice and Men
A Raisin in the Sun
Romeo and Juliet
Speak
To Kill a Mockingbird
A Streetcar Named Desire
The Crucible
Fahrenheit 451
The Great Gatsby
Hamlet
Macbeth
Night
Lord of the Flies
Frankenstein
Their Eyes Were Watching God
The Bluest Eye
The Glass Menagerie
Death of a Salesman
My Sisters Keeper
The Lovely Bones
The Kite Runner
