In the Classroom

What current and former students are saying about AP Economics:

"AP Econ introduced me to and ignited a passion for a subject I never thought I would actually like. Economics turned from something I hated into my college major at Cornell University". - Diya Turakhia (Viera '23)

"Even I, as someone who plans on pursuing a career in the STEM field, was interested by, deeply enjoyed, and benefited from AP Econ. Because of Mr. Black and how he interacts with students and structures his classes, Econ felt like another home for me; every day is an opportunity to get to know each other, become more tightly-knit, and work through our course loads together. I would highly advise rising Juniors and Seniors to take this class!" - Max Chynwat 

"AP Economics taught me how businesses operate and the many influences of economics on every day life".

 - Lucas Evans

"Although AP Econ requires high-level evaluating and focus, I'd take it again any day. Mr. Black can make the most mundane topics fascinating. The rigor is worth it!" - Carlie Grider

"AP Micro/Macro were the best classes I've taken at VHS. Mr. Black prepares you for all the tests and AP exams. Also, the material covered in these classes help you a lot in the real world." - Alvee Ahsan

"AP Econ is such a fun class because it helps me understand how money, businesses, and markets actually work in the real world. Plus, the group discussions and problem-solving make it super engaging, and it's interesting to see how economics connects to everyday life." - Ethan Janning
