be given to exploration of major vocational choices adults are faced with. In addition, students will seek a greater understanding of the meaning of Christian discipleship through a survey of and study of Christian writers including Matthew Kelly, Thomas Merton, and C.S. Lewis. • Catholic Leadership and Ministry (3995): [Prerequisite: Application, Interview, Departmental Approval] Catholic Leadership & Ministry engages students in developing an understanding of the theology, principles, and practices of leadership within Catholic-Christian ministry and service. Students survey Christian perspectives on leadership and develop skills thereof, explore the relationship between Catholic spirituality and active ministry, and examine their individual faith lives and that of the school community. The course combines classroom and experiential learning by forming students into a ministry leadership team which develops and leads faith experiences for the school community such as retreats, prayer services, faith sharing groups, peer mentoring, and service opportunities.
Mathematics The Math Department seeks to challenge students through an integrated curriculum where skills and concepts are taught in a continuous manner, so that each course is not an isolated learning experience but rather part of a larger process. The goal is to have students well prepared for college and well equipped with critical-thinking and problemsolving skills that they can use in any career choice.

Placement is determined by the Marmion Math Placement Exam (see page 3). Students can advance from one track to another by taking the Algebra 2 Honors course during the summer at Marmion. Additional opportunities to test out of Algebra 1 and Geometry can be pursued through the Marmion summer program. All students are required to have a TI-83/84 graphing calculator. All Mathematics courses meet 5 days per week and count for 1 credit unless otherwise noted.
