Advanced Placement (AP) is a program in the United States and Canada created by the College Board which offers college-level curricula and examinations to high school students. American colleges and universities may grant placement and course credit to students who obtain high scores on the examinations. The AP curriculum for each of the various subjects is created for the College Board by a panel of experts and college-level educators in that field of study. This is a direct stepping-stone to pre-university courses. Please contact us for more information about the AP Courses we offer.

Each high school student is assigned a locker. Students are responsible for the locker key and the general care and cleanliness of their lockers. To obtain a locker: Come to see the school office/homeroom teacher on the first day of school.
You will be assigned a locker and given a key. The locker number matches the number on the key.
The key is to be returned at the end of the year or upon withdrawal from the school. If keys are not returned at the end of the year or on the withdrawal date, the student will incur a fine. Please contact the School Office regarding locker fines.
If a student loses a key during the school year and needs a replacement they will incur a fine. A replacement key is available at the School Office. Please contact the School Office regarding locker fines.
If a student forgets their key they will incur a fine. They may “borrow” (have the locker opened for them) from the School Office. Please contact the School Office regarding locker fines.
