Math-Kyle McAllister

Math is one of the core subjects that every student takes classes in.  The Department Chairperson for this subject is Kyle McAllister and he has held the position for six years now.

“My responsibilities are to be the person between administration and the teachers, so if there’s a concern from the other teachers, I’m the voice of the department.  I’ll bring it to administration and then I’ll report back to the department,” McAllister explained.

However, there are many other responsibilities such as budgeting, scheduling, and other math related activities that Mr. McAllister has to attend to.

“Like any other curricular area there are certain things that are math specific. . . We do AMC testing, the American Math Competition, things like that,” McAllister elaborated.

His favorite part is not only the communication aspect but the involvement.

McAllister said, “I like being part of the conversations about the direction the school can go, not just at the high school level, but at the K-12 level.  Every year all the department chairs have meetings. . .  and try to craft the direction of where things are gonna go.”
