Advanced Placement (AP)/Dual Credit  AP courses are college level courses that are approved through the college board where an assessment is taken at the end of the course. Students can score a 1-5 on the AP exam. Students must earn a score of 3 or higher to receive college credit toward their degree at any Indiana public institution of higher education. AP scores can taken out of state and the school will determine what credit will be awarded.  Dual credit means courses in which students can earn both high school and college credits. Our Dual Credit Provider is Ivy Tech. Students do have to qualify for the college credit by taking what is called the ACCUPLACER. Dual Credit Courses used to meet AHD requirements must be from priority course list.

AP Diploma Students can take AP Seminar in grade 10 or 11, followed by AP Research in grade 11 or 12. Students in the class of 2020 who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research and on four additional AP Exams of their choosing receive the AP Capstone Diploma™. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher in AP Seminar and AP Research but not on four additional AP Exams receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate.
