AP Human Geography
Interested in taking the class?
Incoming Freshman can register for the 2024-25 school year through their school's normal registration process. No recommendation letters are required, but I advise you talk with your current social studies teacher about if it will be a good choice for you.
You may also be able to take the class your Sophomore year.
Here's a slideshow with the basics.
Also see the promo video I made.
