2026-2027

Launching in the 2026–27 school year, AP Cybersecurity is a yearlong high school course that provides a broad introduction to the field and aligns closely with a college-level introductory cybersecurity course.  As technology plays an increasingly central role in everyday life, this course helps students learn how digital systems work and how to protect them from cyber threats. Students gain hands-on experience through real-world examples and problem-solving activities, building practical skills that apply to college, careers, and everyday technology use. As part of the AP Career Kickstart program, the course emphasizes applied learning, career exploration, and professional skill development, while aligning with CTE standards and credentials valued by industry. Students who earn a qualifying score on the AP Exam may receive college credit and an industry-recognized credential.

AP Art History
-
2026-2027

We'll be studying global art history, with an emphasis on Europe and the Americas, from prehistoric times to the present day. We will focus on a set of 250 works of art throughout the class; these align with college faculty expectations of what students should be familiar with. (This list of 250 pieces of art is standard across AP® Art History classes and the AP Art History exam.) I'll also bring in art from outside the list if needed, so we certainly won't be limited to those specific 250 works! Students will learn to analyze art visually and contextually - to identify art based on style, materials, and subject, and to identify the themes, philosophies, and social issues that affected the art of the era. We'll also cover the elements of art (form, style, materials, technique, line, composition, perspective), interpretations of art (and how to interpret art), and how to make arguments and support arguments about art.


Our classes develop a community of scholars who interact through class postings, course-related projects and games, responding to one another's work, discussions, and much more. For student perspectives on our classes, watch these AP Student Panel Zoom sessions:
