Texas History
PreAP classes are meant to be rigorous for our students to prepare them for AP courses in high school. This year the district has outlined specific expectations for PreAP classes, including 8th grade. Like my collegues, I will be following the guidelines setup by the district for my PreAP class. Please refer to the PreAP Social Studies Skills Expectations Table for the minimum requirements set by the district.
