CISD AP Celebrations As you know, we have been notified by the College Board that for the fourth year in a row we are an AP Honor District! This honor is bestowed on districts who have increasing AP course enrollment/exam participation and increasing AP scores on those exams.

Questions for Consideration • What impact will offering only AP Human Geography at CHS 9 have on preparation of our AP learners? • How can we balanced increasing AP enrollment with student choice and our desire for learners to explore their passions? • Why do some learners enrolled in AP courses decline the opportunity to take the AP exam? • How can we continue to support our AP educators as their learner enrollment increases?
