All students will use some form of math in his later life no matter what vocation they choose. Mathematics also helps to develop ability to reason clearly and precisely. To graduate from CHS each student must have at least two years of math. This is usually either algebra or general math. Students who wish to take courses in higher mathematics may choose plane geometry, solid geometry, trigonometry, or advanced algebra. Miss Fannie George Higgins is the director of the math department and is aided by very compe- tent teachers.
