Learn about AP courses at AP Parent Night on Nov. 29 

HISD’s Innovation and Postsecondary Programming will host Advanced Placement Parent Night— an informational event where parents can learn more about AP courses at HISD.

The event will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 29, at Hattie Mae White Educational Support Center (4400 W 18th St. Houston 77092).

All HISD middle and high schools offer advanced-level coursework designed to prepare students for success in college. During the 2017-2018 school year, 10,242 HISD students received college credit by scoring well on their AP exams, saving their families $11,782,500 in college tuition. Both AP and pre-AP courses leverage rigorous instruction to help students become independent learners.  

AP specialists, AP teachers, and former AP students will be on hand to answer questions, including:

  • What is an AP course?
  • What are the benefits of taking AP courses?
  • Which AP courses should my student take?
  • How can my student prepare for the rigor of AP?

The event is free and open to all parents with students in grades 6-11. Please note that childcare will not be provided.
