Honors and AP Course Offerings
Honors
Honors level courses cover the same material as college preparatory classes but at an accelerated pace and with more reading and writing components. Students may choose to take Honors level courses in nearly all academic subject areas.
Advanced Placement
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are college-level courses offered in high school. AP courses reflect what is taught in introductory college courses. Students who do well on AP Exams can earn credit and/or placement into advanced courses in college. You may find a list of which colleges and universities accept AP scores for credit here.
AP Exams
At the end of each AP course, students take an AP exam in that subject area. The standardized exams measure how well students have mastered college-level course work. Students who take AP classes are required to take the AP exam in May.
