AP Night
Advanced Placement classes allow students the opportunity to take college level courses while in high school as well as the opportunity to earn college credit for those courses. These courses also enable students to become more competitive for college admissions.
During Advanced Placement Night, current 8th and 9th grade students and their parents will receive updated information regarding the benefits of taking AP courses as well as an overview of the courses offered.
Students and parents will also have the opportunity to visit with AP teachers to learn about specific AP courses for next year.
