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:
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.
