The math department is now administering the second round of ISTEP testing, according to math department chairperson Jacinda Sohalski. Sohalski said the department is currently very busy administering the exam to all sophomores.

Sohalski also said teachers are working to get ready for the end of the school year.

“Our teacher teams are also working on final exams and preparing for the end of the school year,” Sohalski said. “In the next few weeks we will be doing our second round of recommendations for next year, where we look at current student course requests and discuss any changes that we think need to.”

Joey Heerens, Math Club president and junior, said he is optimistic for the end of the school year. He said, “I think the math department was very good last year, and I believe they will be better in the upcoming school year.”
