Advanced Placement United States History
Advanced Placement United States History is a program designed to provide students with the analytical skills and factual knowledge necessary to deal critically with the problems and materials in United States history. APUSH is a demanding introduction to American history and culture that assumes a high level of interest and competence. APUSH integrates political and social history. Because the course is similar to a first-year college course, students should expect the workload to be challenging. The analytical thinking, writing, and reading skills that students develop in APUSH equip them for college and lifelong learning. Students are required to take the College Board AP examination in order to receive the Advanced Placement designation on their transcripts.
Prerequisite: Outstanding completion of World History or World Geography and Sophomore English (at least a "B" average) and an application from the student (including recommendations from the World History/World Geography and English teachers).
Co-requisite: Must be enrolled in Accelerated English III or AP English: Language and Composition
