Horseheads High School
Mathematics
Welcome to the Horseheads High School Math Department webpage.
Our course offerings in math include Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II/Trigonometry, as outlined in the state's new standards for math. We also offer several additional courses.
In the math department we strive to provide assistance for all students in order to meet the NYS standards. Those structured opportunities for help are in the form of a math lab. The math lab is open for activity periods during the school day.
The Mathematics Department is committed to district's mission and dedicated to implementing the following New York State learning standards in our ongoing efforts to maximize student success.
