The study of mathematics is related to practically every academic course. Its basic concepts will later assist those who now apply themselves. Faculty members must constantly keep abreast with new math advances to prepare students for the changing modem world. In addition to the regular academic courses, students are offered accelerated courses. At the beginning of Junior High, the accelerated students are given eighth grade math while their classmates are studying seventh grade arithme- tic. This enables the advanced students to take calculus in their Senior year. This will give them a better background for college courses. ATH Mrs. Dorothy Wilkinson 8111 Mall!
