AP Exam Fees
The deadline to pay for AP Exam fees for first semester or full year AP Exam courses is 11/2. AP Seminar costs $147 and all other exams cost $99 per exam. To pay AP Exam fees, log into the Infinite Campus parent portal and select the "Fees"/"Pay Fees" tab. All AP Exam fees for first semester or full year courses still outstanding will be listed there. If an exam is not paid for by 11/2, it will not be ordered and students will be unable to take the AP Exam. Students who qualify for F/R services also qualify for an AP Exam Fee Waiver. The waiver will be applied to students accounts and a test will be ordered. Please email kayla.patton@jeffco.k12.co.us with any questions.
Seniors' Spotlight
Diploma and Commencement Program Name Confirmation
Attention Seniors, Parents/Guardians: The name displayed on a senior’s diploma and in the commencement program will reflect their preferred name (first, middle, and last) as listed in our records. For most seniors, this preferred name matches their legal name unless a name change has been requested. If you would like a different name on the diploma or program, please contact the registrar, Lynn Nguyen, at lynn.nguyen@jeffcoschools.us by November 18. After this date, diploma orders will be finalized, and further changes will require a separate order through Jostens at your own cost. Name change requests for the commencement program, however, may still be submitted until the end of March.

Additionally, students can create an account on collegeboard.org to view their scores online.

Mountain Biking Takes 5th Place at State!
To close out the season, the GHS Mountain Biking Team had a great weekend at State in Glenwood Springs with 65 qualifying riders! Overall our team finished 5th with 6018 points. The team showed their excellent camaraderie through the participation in the Disco spirit contest with our festive tent and goofy outfits. We did an awesome job cheering on our teammates and showing our support for each other, giving riders like Riley Nelson the encouragement she needed to win second place for Varsity girls. Despite some rough races, our team pushed through and looked strong out on the dusty course. Congratulations racers, it was an amazing season!
