Our new websites have launched!

Staff is extremely excited to introduce a fresh new web browsing experience for its families, students and visitors. As you visit sites, you will find that generic information is listed on school homepages. As staff return to the office in July, information specific to school sites will be updated. Department webmasters are feverishly working to appropriately link and build pages. Please remember that this is a work in progress and edits are coming or underway. We greatly appreciate your patience as we prepare for the upcoming school year!

Benefits

Taking AP courses and exams can help students:

  • Stand out on college applications. AP courses on a student's transcript show that they've challenged themselves with the most rigorous courses available to them. Success on an AP Exam shows that they're ready for college-level coursework.
  • Earn college credit and/or skip introductory courses in college. Most four-year colleges and institutions in the United States - as well as many institutions in more than 100 other countries - grant students credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP Exam scores. Search credit policies by college.
