AP Summer Assignments
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are designed to challenge and provide students with a deeper understanding of specific subject matter. Many colleges and universities offer college credit to students who achieve a certain score on the corresponding AP Exam taken in early May. Chino Hills High School is proud to be a current Bronze AP Honor Roll Recipient! To earn this exciting recognition, more than a quarter of graduating seniors scored a 3 or higher on at least one AP exam during their high school career. Our goal is gold!
