Relevancy is their goal At Seekonk High School, Mathematics is an integral part of the curriculum. The department treats mathe- matics as both an art and a science: they strive to teach both the aesthetic and practical aspects of math through a variety of courses geared to several levels of ability. The Mathematics Department emphasizes versatility, teaching highly accelerated courses such as Calculus I and II as well as the basics such as Elements of Math I and II. | The primary goal that the department hopes to Thomas H.

Student participation in the program is not a problem since many students show a willingness to get involved with advanced exploration. As the department always tries to meet the students’ needs, they hope to offer a computer programming course in the future. “J a NG ae se : i ES E “a afer hy r . Robert C.

Therefore, ne Science Department believes in teaching the student the scientific facts, techniques, and skills used in solving scientific problems. Courses are offered for both the college bound and voca- tional students with both college preparatory and gen- eral science classes. New courses that were offered this year are Enriched College Chemistry and Enriched College Physics. These courses were developed to challenge the advanced stu- dents by increasing the amount of labwork and offering a more indepth understanding of the subjects. This summer, the Science Department hopes to open a workshop to develop a more advanced Physics or Chem- istry course for the 1981-1982 school year. Kamikaze Kameron Stephen J.
