Please join us this coming Wednesday, October 11th for Advanced Placement Information Night, at 6pm in the Centennial Auditorium. Advanced Placement courses are college-level honors classes available to all Centennial students. Any student who is performing at grade level should consider making AP classes a part of their high school experience! As you may know, Centennial is an AP Capstone school that proudly offers 18 AP classes. Students in all grade levels – freshmen through seniors – are eligible to register for AP courses. Soon, students will begin selecting their high school courses for next year. If you’re considering Advanced Placement coursework, please plan to attend Wednesday to hear a 35-minute presentation about our Advanced Placement program and to meet many of our Advanced Placement teachers. We will explain:
