During the 2025–2026 school year, Calhoun High School offered 17 AP courses, providing students with rigorous academic opportunities across a wide range of subjects.
A total of 173 CHS students completed 245 AP exams, with 71% earning a qualifying score of 3 or higher. This strong performance remains consistent with last year’s results and reflects the continued commitment of Calhoun High School students and teachers to academic excellence.
Among the 52 honorees:
