(A Guide for Advanced Placement: English Vertical Teams) Clemens students who take AP course are expected to also take the examination for each course they take.    AP courses are open to students who want to challenge themselves and know that they have the time and tools to give to their coursework and the program. The Board promotes-by means of responsive forums, research, programs, and policy development- universal access to high standards of learning, equity of opportunity, and sufficient financial support so that every student is prepared for success in college and work (A Guide for Advanced Placement: English Vertical Teams) If you have any questions about the AP Program, please contact Joe Pusateri at jpusateri@scuc.txed.net or 945-6122.
