• LHS course descriptions
  • AP Calculus AB
    Completion of a summer assignment is required for this course. This course is recommended to students with a strong four-year background in college prep mathematics.  The curriculum includes theory of limits, continuity, mean value theorem, properties and applications of differentiation and integration. This Advanced Placement course is taught at a college level.  Students must possess a strong interest in mathematics and be willing to devote extra time to this course.  A minimum grade of B or higher in Pre-Calculus Honors is a good predictor for success in this course. It is expected that all students take the AP Calculus AB exam in May.

  • AP - Calculus BC
    Completion of a summer assignment is required for this course. This course covers the same material as the AP Calculus AB, as well as a unit on differential equations integration techniques, polar area, vectors, parametric equations, and a unit on infinite series.  A minimum grade of B or higher in Introduction to Calculus BC Honors is a good predictor for success in this course. It is expected that all students take the AP Calculus BC exam in May.

  • AP - Statistics
    Completion of a summer assignment is required for this course. This course is designed to meet the growing need for knowledge of the statistical procedures necessary to analyze data from all disciplines.  Students are introduced to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and inferring from data.  The four broad conceptual themes include:  exploratory data, planning a study, anticipating patterns and statistical inference.  This course is designed for students who intend to study business, economics, social sciences and many other disciplines where data analysis is required.  It may be taken concurrently with Pre-Calculus or Calculus.  This course is scheduled in the math computer lab.  Students will utilize the TI-Nspire graphing calculator and FATHOM software extensively in this course.  A minimum grade of “A-” in college prep (CP) level classes or “B” in honors level classes is a good predictor for success in this course. It is expected that all students take the AP Statistics exam in May.

  • AP - Computer Science A
    The curriculum reviews, develops and expands topics studied in prior programming courses.  This course enables the student to develop skills in writing logically-structured, well-documented programs using object-oriented programming in the JAVA programming language.  APCS is recommended for students who have a strong interest in computer science and engineering and are willing to spend the extra time beyond the classroom this course requires.  While it is not required, students are encouraged to take Computer Programming prior to taking AP Computer Science A to gain exposure in programming. A minimum grade of “B” or higher in Computer Programming is a good predictor for success in this course. It is expected that all students take the AP Computer Science A exam in May.
