AP Human Geography:

Interested rising 10th graders will be offered the opportunity to take AP Human Geography. In reviewing our offerings for students, we are looking to expand rigorous course offerings at the varying grade-levels, while also considering prerequisite content and skills, as well as what is developmentally appropriate for each grade-level. Rising 10th-grade students will need to make this request by April 22nd for the 24-25 school year.

Proficiency testing for the Seal of Biliteracy begins after April break, April 16 and 18, periods 6-8.
