Effective with the Freshman Class of 2009-2010, Four Mathematics units are required for graduation: [Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II] OR [Integrated Mathematics I, II, III] plus a fourth mathematics course to be aligned with the student’s after-high-school plans. Courses that are in the 2003 revision of the North Carolina Standard Course of Study for Mathematics 9-12 that meet the Future-Ready Core Course of Study Graduation Requirements are indicated in the chart below.
