Honors & Advanced Placement Program

The Honors/Advanced Placement (H/AP) program at GHS offers courses in English, foreign language, math, science, social studies, computer science, art and statistics. All students are encouraged to register for a challenging academic program. Parents, teachers, counselors, and administrators identify and encourage students to enroll in H/AP. Students area also encouraged to nominate themselves. Participation in AP classes gives students a sample of college-level work while they are still in high school. Students who score high grades on AP exams may receive college credit from the colleges they decide to attend.

Students who receive a grade of B or above in Honors/AP class get an extra quality point when their weighted GPA's are calculated.
