However, a Raytheon employee named Kandy Roy recently visited Mr. Barnett’s Advanced Algebra class at Newnan High School in Georgia hopes to change that myth. An integral part of the hiring process at the corporation, Roy told the students how valued math and science skills are in post-college life.
