Advanced Placement Opportunities
Oak Hills High School strives to offer students choices and opportunities that will prepare them for their next steps after graduation. We have consistently offered rigorous curricular experiences that expose our students to quality instruction and college-aligned coursework. The Advanced Placement (AP) program, offered in 26 courses, is one such opportunity.
Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, Oak Hills will no longer require students enrolled in AP courses to take the AP exam at the conclusion of the course. While the quality of the rigorous curriculum will remain the same, students will be given the option of taking the AP Exam in May. Students choosing to take the exam will be responsible for the $90 exam fee for each exam taken.
Oak Hills continues to support the Advanced Placement program and highly encourages students to consider taking the AP Exam in May. The exam opens incredible opportunities for students to earn college credits while still in high school. Research shows that high school students who choose to take an AP exam are more likely to graduate from college than students who do not, regardless of their AP exam score.
Each AP student must complete the Commitment to Take 2012 AP Exam form and return it to the Business Office at OHHS. Below you will find links to the documents.

Bus Service - Oak Hills High School
The Oak Hills Local School district does not provide bus service for high school students except as required by state law. It is the parents’ responsibility to make arrangements to get their children to school.

To insure your child a place on the bus with the best possible pickup and drop off location apply early. Applications will be available in May and must be received by August 1st each year. Late applications can result in the child being placed on a waiting list. The application forms will be available in the front lobby of Oak Hills High School.
