Hall County High Schools receive 19 Advanced Placement Honors Awards from the State of Georgia

The Hall County School District is proud to announce our high schools that have been named 2023 Georgia Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Schools by State School Superintendent Richard Woods on February 16, 2023, based on 2022 AP Exam test data. Several of our high schools are AP Honor Schools in more than one category, and all high schools that administer AP exams are represented. Congratulations to our students, teachers, and administrators!

AP exams are administered by the College Board, which also administers the SAT. AP courses are one of several ways Georgia students can access college-level rigor at the high school level; students who receive a 3, 4, or 5 on an AP exam are eligible to receive college credit.

“The number of AP Honor Schools increased by more than 14%, which serves as a testament to our commitment to expand opportunities for Georgia students, including in advanced and accelerated coursework,” stated State School Superintendent Richard Woods. “I sincerely congratulate each of this year’s AP Honor Schools on their achievement. Additionally, I thank each teacher, student, and school- and district-level administrator for their diligent work creating strong AP opportunities in these 273 Georgia schools.”
