Advanced Placement The North Hills School District strongly believesthat success in AP programs leads to successin college.
We wish to maximize all student opportunitiesfor earning college credit and AP Scholar
awards. To support these efforts, all students enrolled
in the AP courses are required to take the APexam for the subjects they are enrolled in.This is a course requirement.
To further support this program, the schooldistrict absorbs the test fee for each test andmanages the registration process for allstudents for the exams.
