Advanced skill development supports college readiness for all students. Students are given the opportunity to earn professional certification by electing to test for Microsoft Office certifications. Professional certification enhances employment opportunities and advancement in the workplace.AP Computer Science ~
AP Computer Science A is an introductory, college level course in computer science. The course introduces students to computer science with fundamental topics that include problem solving, design strategies, organization of data, approaches to processing data, analysis of potential solutions, and the ethical and social implications of computing. The course emphasizes problem solving and design using Java language. The AP Computer Science A course curriculum is compatible with many Computer Science 1 courses in colleges and universities.AP Language and Composition ~
The AP English Language and Composition course aligns to an introductory college-level rhetoric and writing curriculum, which requires students to develop evidence-based analytic and argumentative essays that proceed through several stages or drafts. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Throughout the course, students develop a personal style by making appropriate grammatical choices. Additionally, students read and analyze the rhetorical elements and their effects in non-fiction texts, including graphic images as forms of text, from many disciplines and historical periods.AP Macroeconomics ~
AP Macroeconomics is an introductory college-level course that focuses on the principles that apply to an economic system as a whole. The course places particular emphasis on the study of national income and price-level determination; it also develops students’ familiarity with economic performance measures, the financial sector, stabilization policies, economic growth, and international economics. Students learn to use graphs, charts, and data to analyze, describe, and explain economic conceptsAP Government and Politics ~

Principles of Engineering uses a combination of teamwork and problem solving skills in hands-on projects applying physical principles, robotics, and mechanical exploration. POE enables students to experience some of the major concepts covered in post-secondary courses of study for careers in medicine, engineering, business, architecture, manufacturing and science. Additional project costs may apply. (See www.pltw.org for more information.)AP Calculus AB ~
AP Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The AP course covers topics in the areas, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. The course teaches students to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and to make connections amongst these representations. Students learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions.AP Physics A ~
AP Physics is an Algebra based class that is the equivalent of the first semester of an introductory college Physics class. Students cultivate their understanding of Physics through inquiry-based investigations as they explore topics such as Newtonian mechanics; work, energy, and power; mechanical waves and sound; and introductory, simple circuits.
