West Philadelphia Catholic High School
Welcome to my class!

Welcome to Pre-Calculus and Algebra II. I hope that you enjoy your time in my classroom. This is a critical time for all of you as you will be taking the SAT test along with exploring what and where you'll be after you graduate next year. I realize all of you may not love math like I do, but you must learn to persevere. Any and all questions you have about the concepts you are learning need to be answered immediately. You or your parents can reach me at my email which is listed below. For more information on how to contact me visit Meet the Teacher on the left hand side of this webpage. You can email any questions or concerns or meet with me for tutoring after school on Mondays and Thursdays and every morning of the week. I am the moderator of the National Honor Society. If you are having difficulty in another course besides math, we can help you. Just stop into room 305 and I will set you up with a tutor.

Attention all National Honor Society Members: We will be going to the Camden Aquarium on Monday, May 14. Remember you have to turn in your signed parent permission and teacher slip to me by Monday, May 7.

SAT Test Dates- The last SAT test date is on June 2, 2007. You have to register by April 27, 2007. You can still register up until May 9, 2007, but you will have to pay a late fee. Please note this is the last SAT test until the fall. Click on College Board below to find out more information.
