This course is designed to be the equivalent of a college-level course. An intensive study of American history, AP US History is offered to students who have already completed Modern World Cultures and US History I. The course reviews topics and themes presented in United States History I, and continues an examination of American history through our contemporary era. Supplementary readings and research are required, as the course is designed to prepare students for the Advanced Placement Examination in United States History. All students enrolled in AP classes are required to take the AP exam in May. Prerequisite: Students will need to pass USI to be enrolled in AP US History. Please note: there is a required summer assignment for this course.
