The
EPCDS 2008-2009 Math Team took 26 out of 29 possible First Place
trophies throughout the year.
We are in the
midst of a technological revolution. The foundation for
tomorrow's engineers, computer scientists and medical
professionals is mathematics. Because of this, the El Paso
Country Day School Tradition of Academic Excellence begins
with mathematics. Ever since The EPCDS Math Team has
competed in city-wide math competitions, it has excelled.
Under the leadership of
Dr. Leslie Foged, the team
has placed first in at least one event in every single
tournament it has entered. In the 2008 - 09 Tournament
Season, the EPCDS Math Team completely dominated every other
high school in El Paso, winning 26 out of a possible 29
first place trophies over 9 citywide tournaments. As you can
see in the graphic below EPCDS swept all
three major events at almost every single high school math
competition in the City of El Paso. In individual
competition, EPCDS 9th graders regularly defeated 11th
and 12th graders from schools such as Franklin High School,
Coronado High School, Silva Magnet, and more. This
year's math team won three out of four events at Regionals
in Midland, Tx, and had three top 10 finishers at State,
including EPCDS Senior, Leif F., who won the Texas State
Championship in all
three major categories and was awarded a college scholarship
as a result.
EPCDS takes
math education very seriously. See for yourself, below...

EPCDS has adopted the Saxon Math curriculum for
elementary and middle school math. Saxon Math
is, itself, an advanced curriculum, but EPCDS
goes a step further: we teach one full grade
level above the standard. This means that by the
time EPCDS seniors graduate, they will have
completed (and received dual credit for) college
calculus. Many students complete Calculus
II. |
