The AP English Language and Composition course focuses on the development and revision of evidence-based analytic and argumentative writing, the rhetorical analysis of nonfiction texts, and the decisions writers make as they compose and revise. Students evaluate, synthesize, and cite research to support their arguments. Additionally, they read and analyze rhetorical elements and their effects in nonfiction texts—including images as forms of text— from a range of disciplines and historical periods. The AP English Language and Composition course aligns to an introductory college-level rhetoric and writing curriculum.

Creating Writing focuses on the creative process through a variety of written forms including short stories and poetry. Style variations will be taught through self and peer examination. An individual project is required and a daily journal is part of the course. Students will submit their work to the school’s literary magazine. Students may take this course more than once for credit.

Journalism and Digital Media is designed to achieve the following objectives: 1) to develop a better understanding of the news media and its relation to the democratic process, 2) to develop the ability to distinguish between fact and opinion and to form intelligent judgments, 3) to learn the basic skills in the various forms of news writing, feature writing, editorial writing, editing, newspaper design, and desktop publishing, 4) to explore the various career opportunities of journalism and the mass media, 5) to provide training for participation on the school newspaper and yearbook staffs.

The advanced news reporting staff will produce an online news site. The publication will act as its own business with the students setting the budget and selling advertising. Students will explore the foundations of good journalism writing at an advanced level; the difference between opinion and propaganda; the design concepts which sell a story to the reader; online podcasting and broadcasting; and photojournalism. The staff may also participate in state and national contests and/or conventions.

The primary objective of the yearbook staff is to provide a complete, reliable story of the school year for the student body, the faculty and the community. Through a learning lab, students will develop skills in leadership, feature writing headline and caption writing, editing, proofreading, design, photojournalism, advertising, advanced computer skills, marketing and sales. In order to keep up with the current trends in yearbook production and to establish an adherence to acceptable journalistic standards, students are encouraged to attend local, state and national workshops and/or conferences.

Reading for Pleasure is a course for bookworms or those interested in becoming one! This course is designed for students in mind that wish they had time during the school day to cozy up and read. Class time will be devoted to reading material of student choice. Additionally, students will share book recommendations amongst their peers, create book trailers, reflect upon what they read, maintain a written reflection journal, and become active, critical readers.

AP Calculus BC applies the content and skills learned in AP Calculus AB to parametrically defined curves, polar curves, and vector-valued functions; develops additional integration techniques and applications; and introduces the topics of sequences and series.

AP Statistics introduces students to the major concepts and tools for collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data. There are four themes evident in the content, skills, and assessment in the AP Statistics course: exploring data, sampling and experimentation, probability and simulation, and statistical inference. Students use technology, investigations, problem-solving, and writing as they build conceptual understanding. The AP Statistics course is equivalent to a one-semester, introductory, non-calculus-based college course in statistics
