NMSI

As one of the highest performing high schools in the state, it is our goal to continue to offer a rigorous breadth of coursework for ALL students. This means preparing more students for advanced academic work at the honors and Advanced Placement (AP) levels. Whether it is one class or many, participation in AP courses significantly improves a student’s college readiness. To help meet that goal, we have partnered with the National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI) to provide robust training for our staff and incentives to our students. Students will have access to the best instruction, additional tutoring, and monetary incentives.

National Math and Science Initiative (NMSI): NMSI is a national nonprofit organization that supports districts in developing college readiness through improving teacher effectiveness and student performance in critical subjects of science, technology, engineering and math. As part of a partnership with NMSI through the 2018-2019 School Year, students enrolled in math, science, technology, and English AP courses will receive additional support with extra tutoring sessions, administration/scoring of mock AP Exams and supplemental Saturday Study Sessions. In addition, NMSI will subsidize the fee of the AP Exam and provide monetary incentives for students that earn qualifying scores on the AP Exam.
