2306    American History-AP

The Advanced Placement American History course is designed to provide students with the analytical skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with problems and materials in American history.  It prepares students for intermediate and advanced college courses by making demands upon them equivalent to those made by full-year introductory college courses.  Students taking this course are eligible to take the Advanced Placement (AP) American History Exam given by the College Board.  A passing grade on it makes the student eligible for up to six college credits at over 95% of schools nationwide.  An A or B in World Cultures is recommended. 

*Special Note: Registering for an AP or Honors course is meant to be a YEAR-LONG COMMITMENT.  If you wish to drop an AP or Honors course, you will have to wait until one week after the semester begins.
