The Hall County School District is proud to announce our high schools that have been named 2025 Georgia Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Schools by State School Superintendent Richard Woods based on July 2024 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.

State School Superintendent Richard Woods stated, “Georgia’s 2025 AP Honor Schools exemplify our commitment to providing students with rigorous, high-quality educational opportunities that prepare them for success beyond high school. I commend these schools for their dedication to academic excellence and equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in college, careers, and life. I am delighted the number of AP Honor Schools and school districts has risen again this year – a continued testament to the commitment of Georgia public education to expand opportunities for all Georgia students.”

GaDOE began recognizing AP Honor Schools in 2008 ( https://gadoe.org/press-releases/superintendent-woods-names-2025-ap-honor-schools/ ).
