The Mu Alpha Theta National Honor Society was founded in 1957 by Dr. and Mrs. Richard V. Andree at the University of Oklahoma. In Dr. Andree's words, Mu Alpha Theta is "an organization dedicated to promoting scholarship in mathematics and establishing math as an integral part of high school and junior college education." The name Mu Alpha Theta was constructed from the Greek lettering for the phonemes m, a, and th.
It is the goal of the Portland Christian chapter of ΜΑΘ to foster a better understanding and love of mathematics, while students serve their peers, school, and the Lord by helping others in their studies of mathematics.
