Why Take AP U.S. History (APUSH)?

Read what students say about the APUSH course ....

 

"AP classes are sometimes the deciding factor whether you will get into a competitive college.  For me, one of the first questions I get asked when I visit colleges is whether or not I'm taking honors and AP classes. You shouldn't say 'I don't want to major in history so I'm not going to take AP history.'  It's good to challenge yourself in every possible way so colleges can see you're serious about school."

 

"It is more about analyzing history than just remembering facts.  It challenges your mind and is more interesting than regular classes."

 

"It fully prepares you for different aspects of college and other aspects of life (such as) essay writing and dealing with large task loads."
