Mrs. Madrid-Wallace took time in her College Algebra Honors math classes to share with students great examples of math's applicability in careers after high school math. Rachael Pereda visited in early April to discuss how the Chandler Fire Academy requires math skills and the role these skills play in performing job responsibilities. Later in April, ASU Football alum and Phillips Law Manager Juan Roquea spoke to students about taking advantage of valuable honors math opportunities in high school and how these opportunities carried him through to playing and working with the best of the best!
