The Nolan Catholic Mathematics Department determines placement in mathematics courses for newly admitted students. Departmental approval for enrollment in selected courses is based upon established objective criteria. Four years of mathematics “on site” during high school are required for a Nolan Catholic High School diploma beginning with the class of 2011. Students in the classes of 2009 and 2010 are strongly recommended to take a fourth year of mathematics. Students are required to take mathematics courses consecutively from lower to higher levels. Technology is integrated throughout the mathematics curriculum using Texas Instruments products (TI). To acquaint students fully with current mathematics content and procedures, all students must have access to a graphing calculator. We recommend a TI 83+ if purchasing a new calculator, otherwise TI 83 or TI 84 or TI 84+ is permissible.
