AP Academic Showcase

Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS) aims to provide all students with an opportunity to engage in rigorous instruction through Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Taking AP courses allows students to engage in classes that are taught on a college level and designed to prepare them for the rigors of college work.

To support this goal, the staff at DuVal High School would like to invite you and your students to the upcoming Advanced Placement Academic Showcase scheduled for February 6, 2024. During the showcase, parents and students will have the opportunity to learn more about the Advanced Placement program, hear from students, and meet with teachers, guidance staff, and administrators. The showcase will take place on February 6, 2024, from 6:30-7:30 pm using this Zoom link (click here for link) or enter the URL provided here: https://pgcps-org.zoom.us/j/7948345899?omn=89241891278
