Students enrolled in English 1 are expected to meet Grade 9 standards, retain or further develop literacy skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades, and work steadily to apply their learning to increasingly complex text. High school core English courses engage students in the skills, strategies, and processes required to effectively master reading, writing, communication, and inquiry-based literacy standards.

Students enrolled in English 1 Honors are expected to meet Grade 9 standards, retain or further develop literacy skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades, and work steadily to apply their learning to increasingly complex text. High school core English courses engage students in the skills, strategies, and processes required to effectively master reading, writing, communication, and inquiry-based literacy standards. Honors level courses are rigorous and require more effort to prepare students for the Advanced Placement pathway.

Students enrolled in English 2 are expected to meet Grade 10 standards, retain or further develop literacy skills and understandings mastered in preceding grades, and work steadily to apply their learning to increasingly complex text. High school core English courses engage students in the skills, strategies, and processes required to effectively master reading, writing, communication, and inquiry-based literacy standards.

High school core English courses engage students in the skills, strategies, and processes required to effectively master reading, writing, communication, and inquiry-based literacy standards. Students are required to complete the Warrior Project as an integral part of this course which incorporates research, analysis, writing, job shadowing, interviewing, presenting, and developing a final portfolio. A quality mathematics program is essential to help students develop ways of thinking, solving problems, communicating mathematically, and making decisions that enable them to become informed citizens and consumers, competent employees and employers, and productive members of society.

Requirement: Subsequent enrollment in Intermediate Algebra: Foundations and Modeling This course emphasizes the application of algebraic concepts and skills. Students apply problem-solving techniques, estimation skills, and measurement skills to solve contextual and mathematical problems, including applications related to geometry, data analysis, and statistics. Students work within the real number system to solve problems requiring the use of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Students also use graphing techniques to solve problems, including graphing calculators and/or computer software as appropriate.

This course emphasizes the application of algebraic concepts and skills to solve mathematical and contextual problems that can be modeled with linear, quadratic, exponential and rational functions. These problems may include scenarios related to geometry, data, statistics, direct variation, and inverse variation. Students also use graphs and tables to display and solve problems using graphing calculators and/or computer technology as appropriate. A state- mandated End-of-Course Examination must be given to every student enrolled in this course. The score will count 20% of the final grade.

Algebra 1 Mastery is the first level of college preparatory mathematics. Emphasis is place on solving linear equations and inequalities, basic operations and factoring of polynomials, and applying these concepts to solve real world problems. In this course, students are expected to master each unit with a minimum grade of “C”. Students will have two weeks to study and retake units which were not mastered on the first attempt. In order to qualify for a retake, the student must complete additional assignments on the required unit. Students who fail to master all required units will retake the course or enroll in Foundations in Algebra or Intermediate Algebra: Functions and Modeling. Parental support is an integral part of this course. A state-mandated End-of-Course Examination must be given to every student enrolled in this course. The score will count 20% of the final grade.

This course is designed to provide students with a strong background in algebraic concepts and processes. Topics include understanding algebraic and geometric representations of functions, quadratic, square root, and absolute value functions, rational and exponential functions, and geometric structure and patterns.

This course is designed to provide students with a strong background in algebraic concepts and processes. Topics include understanding algebraic and geometric representations of functions, quadratic, square root, and absolute value functions, rational and exponential functions, and geometric structure and patterns. This course provides a depth of rigor, complexity, challenges and creativity beyond the standard level course as outlined in the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate. This course is more challenging than standard level courses in order to foster growth for advanced learners.

This course is designed to provide students with the study of visual patterns. Topics will include geometric structure, geometric patterns, geometry of location, geometry of size, and geometry of shape.
