Advanced
Placement
courses
are
designed
to give
advanced
students
a
challenging
curriculum
that
closely
mirrors
college
course
work.
These
courses
can lead
to
college
course
credit.
Counselors
and
teachers
are
available
to
advise
parents
and
students
about
the AP
program.
Northgate
High
School
offers a
number
of
Advanced
Placement
courses
in math,
science,
English,
social
studies,
world
language,
and the
fine
arts.
With the
ever
increasing
competition
for
college
admissions
and
scholarships,
Advanced
Placement
courses
offer
students
an
advantage
over
students
with
less
rigorous
coursework.
Northgate
principal
Dr.
Therese
Reddekopp
said,
“We look
forward
to
working
with our
parents,
students,
and
teachers
to
provide
the best
possible
Advanced
Placement
experiences
in terms
of rigor
and
relevance.”
