Math

The Mathematics Department provides all students with courses through all high school grades that are designed to reinforce basic computational operations, introduce central mathematical concepts, and refine mathematical reasoning and problem solving skills. The following proficiencies developed by the department reflect these three focuses:

To demonstrate accuracy and facility in performing fundamental mathematical operations.

To analyze and solve problems of varying types and degrees of difficulty.

To develop an understanding of the nature and structure of mathematics that enables the student to apply principles and concepts in new contexts.

Beginning with the graduating class of 2007, students must successfuly complete four years of mathematics to be eligible for graduation. The department therefore, offers multiple levels of study in the discipline and encourages students to select the appropriate level for their learning each year. The department recommends that students planning to major in mathematics, the sciences or engineering in college complete a rigorous four year sequence and select electives in computer programming.
