For the secondary level, the District currently has 12 Advance Placement (AP) courses that are offered and many of our students are selected for AP honors because of the number of AP courses they take and the level at which they place on the AP exams.

 

There are a variety of gifted and talented education programs for students in grades 3-12.  Selection into these programs is rigorous and typically includes only the top 3% of our population, as recommended by the Gifted and Talented Institute at the University of Connecticut.

 

The District offers a variety of dual and concurrent enrollment programs with Sheridan College, our local community college.  These college course credits transfer directly to the University of Wyoming and other four year institutions throughout the United States.

 

In addition, the District has orchestra for grades 1-12, a variety of career and technical education programs, the latest in technology applications, and modern instructional curricula.
