On August 8, 2011, the Antelope Valley Union High School District and Antelope Valley College started a pilot program called “Senior Mathematics Acceleration and Preparation” (SMAP) at Antelope Valley and Quartz Hill high schools. The goals of this program include helping students be prepared for college-level math and reducing the number of students who must take remedial math courses at AVC. Additionally, students will receive AVC credit through articulation for the highest math class completed during SMAP, and will be exempt from the AVC placement exam. Currently there are two sections at AVHS, taught by Scott Nevison, and two sections at QHHS, taught by Lorena Benavides. The pilot program is funded in part by the National Defense Education Program (NDEP) and the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL), under an education partnership agreement between AFRL and AVUSHD.
