Advanced Placement (AP) Programs:
The Advanced Placement Program is a nationwide program based on the premise that some students can complete college-level studies while still in high school. In May, the College Board gives examinations in all AP subjects. Based on the examination performance, students may receive advanced standing in college courses or credit toward graduation from college. Depending upon the college or university scores of three, four, or five typically result in awarding of credit for one or more semesters of college level work.
Advanced Placement courses earn 0.0344 bonus points for each successfully completed credit. If a course is .5 credits, half of the bonus points (0.0172) will be awarded. Bonus points are added directly to the calculated GPA to yield the weighted GPA. *Note: If an Advanced Placement course has a corresponding Lab Course, only one credited class will receive the bonus points.*
Centennial High School highly encourages all students to take advantage of our Pre-AP/AP course selections.
