We had Spanish or French as foreign language electives. English was a four year course in high school. Mostly about literature and how to write properly by that point rather than how to speak it. The closest we'd get to Old English was Shakespeare.
And because the PC was on the rise in the 1990s, we mostly stopped writing in English and started typing in English. I stopped writing in cursive when I got to High School because most teachers wanted our essays on computer.
