Kudos to the Fountain Hills School Board. Not only did they add more AP courses to the high school curriculum, but by adding the AP Capstone program the school board has made a significant move toward raising the bar for our local students.

An AP Capstone Diploma is a highly desirable and sought after achievement. It will open doors for Fountain Hills students that will lead to more opportunities, more choices and more scholarships. It will make them competitive with international students who have earned International Baccalaureate, A Level, or Arbitur diplomas.

By raising the bar the school board has signaled that our school district is serious about preparing our children to live and work in the global community. Given the opportunity, students will meet the challenge the school board has offered them. Well done!
