More USD 428 teachers were trained to teach Advanced Placement courses at Great Bend High School. The school district made an effort to offer more AP classes in addition to the already offered AP junior and senior English.
USD 428 Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum John Popp says the high school will provide AP classes in U.S. history, chemistry, calculus, along with English this year.

Beginning in the 2017-2018 school year, USD 428 hopes to add AP courses in government, math, and another science class.
Popp says high school students can get dual-college credit for the courses if they pass an AP exam for each class.
