The Hill
Mathematics and Computer Science Department

The Mathematics Department feels strongly that the pursuit of mathematics at the secondary level affords the young mind the best possible training ground for logical, analytical thought processes. Techniques of problem solving at all course levels are emphasized in order to give the student an appreciation of mathematics as an esthetic art form of logic. Honors and AP courses are available giving all students the chance to experience challenge and success commensurate with their potential.
