My Students

Students of Advanced Placement United States Government and Politics class are some of our top graduating seniors. Many of the students in the class are on the path towards College and University coursework and the Advanced Placement course offers them a step on that journey.

Our day starts the earliest of any of the School District of Philadelphia High Schools (7:15) and we boast one of the higher daily attendance rates of secondary schools in the District.

These students are here because of their strong devotion to education and the places it can led them.

Frequently, our students of Advanced Placement United States Government and Politics lack basic classroom resources which creates a disadvantage in May when they compete with other students across the country in the Advanced Placement Exam. The concepts of United States Government and Politics are essential to all students moving forward in the 21st century. Understanding power and how it's distributed is a fundamental idea essential for all Americans.

My Project

These books will allow our students to review materials for their upcoming examination on May 4, 2017. These books will give the students the preparation and confidence my students need to succeed on the exam.

What is good about these review books is they are not just collections of exams but instead real informational content which will benefit our students in their review.

Review is essential to success on the examination.

If they receive a qualifying score they can be eligible to gain college credit from the course. There is no better time to be studying US Government and Politics!
