Seventh and eighth grade students are introduced to beginning Mathematics, Algebra, and Geometry by Mrs. Marie Talley. Freshman Algebra students become acquainted with Algebra as they learn to read graphs and to solve algebraic equations. Miss Helen Powers conducts Freshman Algebra classes and also teaches General Math to those not wishing to major in academic courses. Geometry, Advanced Algebra, and Senior Math classes are taught by Mrs. Mabel Utter. Right before Christmas, Senior Math students help decorate the school with geometric decorations.
