WHAT IS THE AP PROGRAM
Fishers High School is proud to offer 32 Advanced Placement (AP) courses. These courses are college-level courses and the curriculum is designed and monitored by The College Board. Students in these courses are expected to participate in the Advanced Placement testing program in May of each year. Students in these courses have the opportunity, based on their exam results, to potentially earn college credit for coursework completed in high school. We believe that all college-bound students should complete at least one AP course prior to graduation from FHS. We encourage enrollment in subject areas of highest interest. To the right, you will see a full list of our AP course offerings at FHS. Please consult the appropriate department course listings for a full description of these courses.
