MATH The goals for this year's Math De- partment was to provide a non- threatening introduction to high school math for those who think they don't like math. To provide the necessary mathematical sophisti- cation to persue a college degree and to provide a resource enviro- ment for the more advanced stu- dents wanting to receive college credit for the courses taken at Poway High School. Students plan- ning careers in technical fields are enrolled in at least one of seven mathematics courses being offered this year: Essentials, Foundations, Algebra 1-2, Geometry, Algebra 3- 4, Analysis, and Calculas. The Math Department has several pro- grams of study. Students in Essentials and Foundations have traditional classes, then in more advanced classes there is independent study for the more capable students. There is advanced placement which you may receive college credits if you pass a certain exam. The Math Department also supports a math team which competes in contests in San Diego. The team competes for awards. The advisor is Mr. Dani Brutlag.

All learning activities within the Special Education Programs Department are highly individualized because pupils enrolled in these programs are unable to function in the regular classroom situation for a variety of reasons. Through the use of programmed texts, tutorial help, and counseling the students derive a feeling of success and accomplish- ment. The Special Programs curriculum ranges from vocational classes, such as FEAST, business courses, and work experience to college preparatory academic subjects such as Western Civili- zation, and higher mathematics and composition. Each student is given the opportunity to utilize his artistic abilities through such courses as design, painting and drawing-and music courses such as guitar and voice. All students usually take physical education, health and driver education which provided each student with the opportunity to achieve a well rounded education.
