Welcome to the Math Department
Our mission is to prepare the students of Wilson High School to be college and career ready by providing meaningful and rigorous mathematical experiences, empowering their ability to be successful in future endeavors.
Course Pathways
In general:
-
The entire series of Math 1 – Math 3 (or Math 1 Honors - Math 3 Honors) must be taken in order. Each class is a prerequisite of the next one and builds sequentially.
-
Courses cannot be skipped regardless of tutoring over the summer or additional work outside of the school. Tutoring or other additional studies, although valuable, cannot be recorded on an official transcript. Colleges and universities must see each of the courses and content areas on the student transcript.
-
Summer school may not be used for acceleration under any circumstance. (For example, a student in
Math 1 wants to take Math 2 during the summer so they can take Math 3 the following school year) -
AP Calculus AB/BC and AP Statistics may be taken concurrently
