We strongly encourage AP students to participate in AP Exams. By taking an AP Exam, a student has the opportunity to earn college credit for the AP course.
Please remember, if a student is taking an AP course to meet the criteria to receive an Academic Honors Diploma, taking the corresponding AP exam is a requirement.
If you have any questions regarding the exam and/or requirements, please contact Mrs. Woodward in the guidance office.
