This course will emphasize the development of product design, and how a 3 D model would be used tovisualize the final result, which will be evaluated and critiqued. Many projects will be hands on, using calipers, drafting equipment, and hand tools, giving the students experience in understanding roles they may encounter in the career field.

Students are required to register for and take the AP test as a part of this class. This is a college-preparatory class in which students will sharpen their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Study comprises British literature and emphasizes worthy prose and poetry from European and American authors.

The class prepares students for taking the AP Literature Exam (administered by the College Board) which may allow students to earn three to six credits in College English.

In an effort to maximize the AP English educational experience, AP English will be partnered with Honors Government and Economics to create a year-long, 45 minute per day, modified block class schedule. To properly prepare for the AP English test and attempt to break the material into more manageable sections, we piloted this program in the 2011-2012 school year and students found it to be preferable to the regular block schedule. Students will not lose any additional periods, but rather will split the period between AP English and Economics/Government.
