Middle Township News Notes /

(Page 21 Please) the Advanced Placement Program sponsored by the College Board for the past four years. The purpose of the program is to keep intelligent students in high school so they don't miss out on extracurricular activities. MTHS offers Advanced Placement courses in United States History, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, English, Calculus, and Physics. The curricula in these courses have been mutually agreed upon by the high schools and colleges. Twenty-two graduating seniors were involved in some portion of this program. One 1985 MTHS graduating senior could possibly earn 24 credits as the result of this program. Altogether, 14 graduates could earn college credits as the result of their participation in the MTHS program and their test results on the College Board Examinations. MTHS officials and teachers are pleased with the initial success of this program. Some adaptation and refinement of the curricula in the program must be done each year. Advanced Placement courses are difficult with an average of 30 to 35 student# in each of the freshman honors programs. They are broken down to 15 to 17 students per class. About 10 to 12 students are in the program when they reach their senior year. Students enroll in the Advanced Placement Program to have challenging

junior and senior years in I high school and to motivate I them to take college level I courses. Students who do I receive credit through the program's exams may find that it may not be wise to skip the course in college completely. LIKEWISE, students who have had the benefit of taking a college level study course with college level texts, requirements, and expectations but did no score high enough on the examinations to receive college credit will find that their freshman year in college will be much easier. MTHS Principal John McVey states that the program on its academic merits, college credits, etc. is a bonus for the youngsters. Success of the program is directly related to the instructors teaching (he courses. Advanced Placement serves as a "bench mark" a school can have on which to base expectations for all students.
