Have you ever wondered what an AP class is like and if it is something you should sign up to take?  Of course you have!  New this year you will have the opportunity to take a peek into what happens in an AP class during an APeek day.  An APeek day will allow you to sit in for a brief time on an AP class of interest to you.  Students may come to the counseling office to sign up to participate in one of our APeek days throughout the year.  Don’t be scared just come take a peek into the world of AP.
