Advance Placement (AP) is a program of college-level courses coupled with national standardized examinations for currently enrolled secondary school students. The Lincoln County R-III School District, the College Board, and the Educational Testing Service provide this opportunity for students to earn college credit while still in high school.

Students who qualify for an AP course have the option, in May of each year, to take the standardized AP credit examination. AP college credit can only be attained as a result of a successful score on the standardized examination. High school graduation credit will be awarded upon successful completion of the course regardless of whether or not the standardized examination is taken and/or passed. 

Please remember to carefully read all of the information contained in the AP Honors Program individual course descriptions. It is very important to understand the rigorous curriculum of these courses as well as the personal commitment necessary to complete the workload these courses contain. Find more information online.

All AP courses are awarded Honor Points through TBHS on the 5.0 scale. Any letter grade below a C will not receive the weighting in AP or Honors courses.

Students must pay a fee for each AP examination, as charged by the College Board and Educational Testing Service.
