The school year is rapidly coming to an end. There are some key things coming up that I wanted to inform you of, as well as new things coming up next year. The next big thing is our AP (Advanced Placement) tests. During the first weeks of May, students will be completing these tests to earn college credits. We offer AP exams in 5 subjects: Physics, Statistics, Music Theory, Biology, and Precalculus.
