Link to Academic Goals

Mission Statement

The Rutland High School Mathematics Department provides students with the opportunity to develop the  mathematical  background  required to meet their specific goals (higher education, military, work force) as well as the necessary skills for life.

Students should be able to solve problems using a variety of tools, including, but not limited  to logic, reasoning, mathematics and technology.

Upon completion of a 3 – 4 year program at Rutland High School, students should have an understanding of the role of mathematics outside the academic setting
