MHS will be switching to what is known as pre-AP courses, replacing the Honors system. CollegeBoard’s change attempts to set up students for future AP courses. These optional pre-AP courses will be open to all students, rather than requiring students to test in. There are no AP exams for these classes.

“Most Honors kids go into the AP course track, but that next tier of kids who go an AP track struggle sometimes,” Mr. Morgan Nolan, principal, said. “It is such a big gap.”
