Mathematics

North East High School offers a broad range of mathematical options.  Starting in pre-algebra, students can progress through algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability and statistics, and, eventually, calculus.  Additional math courses include SAT prep, computer programming and networking, and advanced math.

English

North East's English department gives students a chance to expand their grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, reading, writing, and analytical thinking skills.  Basic English courses offered include three levels of difficulty at each grade level (regular, honors, and advanced placement).  Students looking to expand their creative talents can take additional courses such as the Reading Workshop, Oral communications, Creative Writing, Journalism, Dramatic Performance, and a Publications Seminar where the students themselves help put together North East's annual year book.

Science

Students of our science program will learn about the workings of the world around them and gain an appreciation for nature and space, while at the same time learning real world applications of the principles taught in their mathematics courses.  Once again, science courses are grouped by difficulty and content (General Academic, College Preparatory, and Advanced Placement).  Typical courses include Earth and Space science, biology, chemistry, and physics.  For students seeking a more hands on experience, classes like experimental biology and human biology will give them a chance to gain experience in a laboratory setting. 

World Language Department

Many colleges and universities are requiring at least 2 years of a world language as an admission criteria.  It is recommended that students considering post-secondary study complete a 4 year language sequence.  Students are also encouraged to study a second world language sequence while completing a first.  Languages offered are Spanish, French, and German.

Social Studies

Students will learn about the people, cultures, and governments of the U.S. and other countries around the globe through our social studies program.  Courses offered include American cultures, Contemporary World Cultures, Western Civilization, Principle of Democracy, European History, American Government and Politics, Psychology, Sociology, and Geography.
