Who We Are

The Academy is a 4-year program that focuses on civic engagement and college readiness through a variety of courses, guest speakers, field trips, and interactive learning. Students who are accepted into the Academy automatically become part of the Advanced Academics program, which includes Honors/Pre-AP/AP courses.

Academy students are grouped together in their Social Studies and English courses, which means that you'll travel through high school with a group of friends and classmates you can lean on. Academy teachers are all certified for Honors and AP courses, and have some of the highest success rates for students taking the AP College Board exams.
