The high school 9-12 grades in the math department use the folllowing textbooks:

• Pacemaker Algebra I and Geometry
• TouchMath, TouchMoney, and TouchTime
• The Practical Arithmetic Series
  • Money Makes Sense
  • Using Dollars And Sense
  • Working Makes Sense
  • Buying With Sense
• AGS Algebra I and Algebra II
• Prentice Hall Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II

The lesson goals lead to the completion of math requirements at the state level. The high school math program is designed to equip students with the knowledge needed to satisfy math standards for a high school diploma. The students will complete a program of study by following a proposed class sequence throughout high school to prepare them for college, vocational training, or employment.

The Stanford Achievement Test, 10th Edition (Stanford 10) is a widely used achievement test published by Harcourt Brace Educational Measurement. It was designed to measure achievement in the curriculum content commonly taught in grades 1 through 9 throughout the United States. This test is very widely used with deaf and hard of hearing students. The Stanford 10 has eight test levels that have been vertically equated so that scores are reported on a single scale for each subtest. These "scaled scores" allow comparisons of scores from different test levels and permit examination of longitudinal growth in achievement of individual students over time. Each test level was designed to measure curriculum content commonly taught (to hearing students) throughout the United States in specific grades in school.

The State Board of Education designated ten high school courses as the basis for End-of-Course examinations. The Select Oversight Committee on Education of the Tennessee General Assembly subsequently affirmed the State Board's recommendation. The revised End-of-Course Assessment Program will include Algebra I (also taken by Math for Technology II students), Algebra II, Geometry, Math Foundations II, Biology I (also taken by Biology for Technology I students), Physical Science, Chemistry, English I, English II and US History. All ten of the End-of-Course Assessments will count as part of the course grade for any student enrolled in the related course. Development of the Algebra II, Geometry, Physical Science, Chemistry, and US History tests is currently on hold at the state level.
