The Knowledge Master Open - A Computerized Academic Quiz Contest - will be held starting at 1:45 pm on Wednesday December 5th. If you would like to participate, please come to the practice sessions next week in 3210. Monday and Tuesday at lunch and after school both days. 

Arvest ACE (Academic Competition in Education) is an academic quiz competition for high school students. Questions in the contest are drawn from 15 subjects and based primarily on the content of standard high school courses and general scholastic knowledge that students can be expected to have acquired at school or elsewhere. There are three rounds of contests during the regular Arvest ACE season that begins in mid January. If you would like to try out for the FHS ACE team, see me. Members of the winning teams could receive scholarship money! 

Please recall that each piece of work that you turn in should contain your Name, Date, Period, and What the work is called. 

Explore the Algebra II web page.

Get a Graphing Calculator if you do not have one.

If you have questions or need some help, please see me, or one of your fellow students. See the Syllabus for information on how to get outside of class help.
