The mission of the Foothill High School Mathematics Department is to provide an educational experience in mathematics that helps students prepare for successful roles in an ever changing society. This will be accomplished through our commitment to excellent teaching, a well-designed curriculum, and a supportive environment for all our students.

To support this mission we will be committed to professional development, updating the curriculum, making real world connections, and incorporating technology. We will employ an assortment of assessment techniques, provide a variety of teaching styles, and maintain an intervention plan for students that might be having difficulty.

Students will be challenged to develop skills in analysis, reasoning, creativity, collaborative learning, and self-expression as they gain knowledge of mathematics. We will maintain high academic and behavioral expectations and try to make every classroom minute count. Efforts will be made to direct students to realize their full potential.
