Classes and Requirements

College Credit in High School

WWHS offers AP (advanced placement), EEP (early enrollment program), and concurrent enrollment courses that offer college credit.

What's the difference? For AP Classes, you must schedule an exam at the end of the course and score a 3 out of 5 or higher in order to take the credit. For EEP Classes and concurrent enrollment, you must keep your grade above a C in order to obtain the credits at the end of the year (no exam needed).

PLEASE NOTE: Not all of the classes available are listed or running. To learn more, visit the program of studies.
