The teachers have attempted to keep up with all the latest methods and techniques and have been very cooperative in assisting those who have need of help. This year the Algebra I students used the planned program of math known as TENIA C. The senior academ- ics studied math analysis as well as trigonometry. There are plans to expand the curriculum even further in the future. MATH STUDENTS must master all systems of measurement.
