Graduation Requirements

Four units of mathematical study are required during high school, one of which must be Algebra I. The other three units are not constrained to particular courses. Students and their parents are cautioned to choose with care so that students will be prepared to meet the requirements of the North Carolina Minimum Competency Test in Mathematics and requirements for college admission.

NOTE: (HC) indicates that a course meets for two periods each day. The HC courses provide the most in-depth study of mathematics. Many colleges require two years of Algebra and one year of Geometry for admission.

Suggested Course Progression

Below are outlines of different tracks students can take through math at Enloe High School. These "tracks" are methods to estimate progression through math education; these are not requirements, nor are they rigidly constrained boundaries. Contact Student Services for more information about course requirements and academic progression on an individual basis.

Higher Level Courses

Mathematics classes at Enloe use graphing calculators and advanced computer technology extensively as a means of providing hands-on examples in a visual medium. The math department offers a two period Advanced Math class in addition to AP Calculus BC as a two period class. With new software, students will be offered an application oriented, investigative mathematical curriculum in which they use technology to solve problems and enhance their understanding of mathematics. Every year Enloe's Advanced Placement exam results consistently exceed the national average by large margins.

In the IBM computing labs around campus, students use computer programs for all math classes. MAPLE, a computer algebra system used at many universities, is used in all Enloe calculus classes.

Calculus III and Differential Equations are courses unique to Enloe. These two courses are taught by an Dr. Norris, a NCSU professor, on our campus. Students recieve both high school credit and transferrable college credit through the North Carolina University System. Calc3 and DiffEq are the equivalent of MA242S and MA341S at NCSU, which are scholars' sections. There is an emphasis on using MAPLE to solve problems, thus enhancing the students' technology skills.
