      Applied Math may be listed under different names, i.e, AYP Math, Applied Geometry, Practical Math.  These math classes are designed for students needing reinforcement in math skills and will also meet the third math requirement for HS graduation.   College bound students will still need to take a higher level math class above Geometry.   Principal’s indicated other schedule needs.  Schedule updated to reflect changes.
