"The AP course I took in high school prepared me for the rigor of college-level courses. These courses helped improve my written and oral communications skills, as well as build my confidence in my academic ability. If it were not for these AP courses, I do not believe that I would have excelled in college at the same level that I have been able to."
—Zaria, AP Alum
