Yearbook
If you ordered last year’s and have not picked it up, we will be delivering those to students next few weeks or you can contact Mr. Kohlmann at Taft to arrange pick up sooner. If you did NOT order last year’s, but would like to purchase one, we still have some available for purchase for $80 or you can purchase a package deal of last year's and this year's yearbook at $120. That's a $30 savings. If you have any questions, please see Mrs. McCarthy in room C205 before or after school.
AP at Comm Arts
At Communications Arts, we focus on college prep and we have our students challenge themselves academically by taking AP/Dual Credit/OnRamps courses. For our students enrolled in AP courses, we do expect them to make a good faith effort to take their AP exams (including AP courses taken at Taft) in May. Every student has been opted in and will have an exam ordered for them.
All exams for AP courses taught at Comm Arts are handled by Comm Arts AP Coordinator: Mrs. Carey (Eagan) McCarthy.
All exams for AP courses taught at Taft are handled by Taft Student Success Advisor: Amber McWilliams

By now all students should have an AP Collegeboard account and be enrolled in their AP courses' classrooms. Unfortunately we have a few students that have yet to do this. An email was sent this weekend to those who need to complete this task. Mrs. McCarthy will begin pulling students from lunch this week to get this taken care of if it is not taken care of by the end of the day Monday. Each teacher has information including their course join codes posted in their Schoology.
