DUAL/COLLEGE CREDIT AT WHS

Dual-credit programs allow students to earn high school and college credit simultaneously. Students can earn dual credit by completing college courses or by completing standardized exams. Students who earn college credit in high school are more likely to graduate, enroll in college, and complete college degrees.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT

These programs allow students to take college level courses, taught by high school teachers, at the high school. Courses are offered in 9th–12th grades, and offerings vary by school. Upon completion of the course, students take a standardized exam. Scores from the exams are considered by colleges, and varying levels of credit are awarded. Students do not pay tuition, but do pay fees for the final standardized exams. Fee waivers are available for lower-income students.

AP Testing Information for the 2022/2023 school year is TBD. Please check back at a later date for more information.
