Computer Science Foundations is a full-year, non-AP course that introduces you to the foundations of modern computing.

The course provides you with a unique focus on creative problem solving and real-world applications. It gives you the opportunity to explore several important topics of computing using your own ideas and creativity. The course covers a broad range of foundational topics such as programming, algorithms, the internet, big data, digital privacy and security, and the societal impact of computing.

This course is designed to be the foundational course that leads into AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A (Java). In this course, you will begin to develop computational thinking skills vital for success across all disciplines, such as using computational tools to analyze, visualize, and draw conclusions from trends. The course engages you in the creative aspects of the field by allowing you to develop computational artifacts based on your interests. You will also develop effective communication and collaboration skills by working individually and collaboratively to solve problems, and you will discuss and write about the impacts these solutions could have on your community, society, and the world. It is not expected that you will major in computer science at the university level. The course is intended to serve as both an introductory course for computer science majors and as a course for students who will major in other disciplines and want to be informed citizens in today's technological society.

This AP Computer Science course introduces students to computer science with fundamental topics that include problem solving, design strategies and methodologies, organization of data (data structures), approaches to processing data (algorithms), analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of computing.

The Math Lab is open to all students at any grade level and is staffed by a certified math teacher. Any student may access the math lab if they are struggling to understand concepts in math class. The Math Lab teacher works in collaboration with the math teacher and the student to offer students targeted support. Students may choose to simply drop in for extra help on homework or before tests and quizzes while some students may be identified as needing more support and will be called to the math lab for a period of time until they can demonstrate their understanding of the concept. The Lab is located in room 315 and students may stay for all or part of their study hall on an as-needed basis with the Math Lab teacher's approval.

Students must receive permission from their math teacher and the Advanced Placement teacher to take the class; the teacher recommendation should reflect a student's strong background and understanding of algebra skills and content. Students should possess sufficient mathematical maturity, quantitative reasoning ability, and a strong sense of responsibility and work ethic. Students are expected to pay for and take the AP exam, which may earn the student college credit. Students may petition the Mathematics Department for an exception to the requirements.
