AP & Honors Expectations


AP and Honors

These teacher and student expectations were a collaborative effort on the part of all  Honors and AP teachers. After meeting twice this year, these expectations were developed in an effort to increase student achievement in the course and on the exam. By providing a cohesive, streamlined delivery of services in these classes, we believe students will be successful in both Honors and AP courses. All Honors and  AP teachers will articulate these expectations to their respective classes on the first  day of school and throughout the year.
