Advanced Placement
The Advanced Placement (AP) Program at Dacula High School offers students the opportunity to engage in college-level coursework while still in high school. Through rigorous classes designed to challenge and prepare students for higher education, AP courses enable students to develop critical thinking, time management, and study skills essential for academic success. Successful completion of AP exams can result in college credit, advanced placement in college courses, or both, providing a head start on post-secondary education.
