WMHS AP Program
The Advanced Placement Program® (AP) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. The program consists of college-level courses developed by the AP Program that high schools can choose to offer, and corresponding exams that are administered once a year.

Expectations
It is the policy of West Monroe High School that students enrolled in any Advanced Placement (AP) course are required by WMHS to take the associated AP Exam in May. If a student does not participate in the AP exam the student will not receive the AP designation on the transcript and this could potentially delay them from receiving their diploma. Every student’s situation is unique, therefore it is the responsibility of the student to know the consequences of any decisions they choose to make.
