Dalton Public Schools recently issued the following announcement.
Dalton High School Recognized as AP Honor School
Dalton High School has once again been recognized as an Advanced Placement (AP) Honor School in the categories of AP Access and Support School and AP STEM School.
State School Superintendent Richard Woods recently named 239 Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Schools in 88 districts for 2022.
“We are committed to expanding opportunities for Georgia students, including in advanced and accelerated coursework,” Superintendent Woods said. “I offer my sincere congratulations to each of this year’s AP Honor Schools, and thank each teacher, student, and school leader who worked hard to create strong AP opportunities in these Georgia schools.”
The 2022 AP Honor Schools are named in eight categories, based on the results of 2021 AP courses and exams. AP exams are administered by the College Board, which also administers the SAT. AP courses are one of several ways Georgia students can access college-level learning at the high school level; students who receive a 3, 4, or 5 on an AP exam may receive college credit. GaDOE began recognizing AP Honor Schools in 2008.
