Why have a rigorous schedule?

Earn College Credits 



Most colleges and universities grant college credit for students who score a 3 or higher on an AP exam (typically the equivalent to one college course). Recent graduates have entered college with 15+ credits which  qualified them as a 2nd semester freshmen  allowed them to register for classes earlier  made them eligible to graduate early and save a half year of tuition
