Despite the changes to the learning environment over the past year, the success of Cobb students in every corner of the district continues. 

The Georgia Department of Education and State Superintendent Richard Woods recently announced the list of 2021 Advanced Placement (AP) Honor Schools. Once again, Cobb Schools made the list multiple times over. In fact, all the District’s 16 traditional high schools earned AP Honor status in at least one category. 

“I extend my heartfelt congratulations to this year’s AP Honor Schools,” Superintendent Woods said. “I commend them for their hard work to build strong Advanced Placement programs and, as a result, provide high-quality opportunities for Georgia students.”

Fourteen of Cobb’s high schools earned the AP Honor School title in at least two categories. Hillgrove High School and North Cobb High School were named AP Honor Schools in six of the eight categories. Six additional Cobb high schools earned AP Honors in five categories: Harrison High School, Kennesaw Mountain High School, Lassiter High School, Pope High School, Walton High School, and Wheeler High School.

Campbell High School and Sprayberry High School both achieved AP Honor awards in four categories.
