AP TESTING

AP Testing Schedule

An AP test and room schedule is now available. Please check online and on the Main Announcement Bulletin Board in school. If you have not completed your AP paperwork, it must be done prior to your scheduled test. Please visit the Counseling Office. During AP test administration, it is encouraged for all test takers to bring a brown bagged lunch during your specific testing days. You will have a chance to eat after the exams, but the cafeteria may not be open when the tests are completed. Students who are displaced from your rooms due to AP testing, should check with their teachers for new room assignments for that day.

MORE SBA ALUM NEWS

Nice Job, Kim!

Kim Donahue ( '15) is one of those students whose SBA years were marked with energy, focus and a determination to succeed. Kim got her start in the Broadcasting and Video class at SBA. In her first year at Hofstra University, Kim continues to jump into the action. On April 28, 2016, she says it was one of her best d ays at Hofstra so far. She had her first real reporting opportunity, by covering Hofstra's 10th Annual Music Fest. Kim interviewed some really awesome people like Small Pools, Shwayze, Austin Hendrix (yep, Jimi's nephew!!). She can't wait for more opportunities like this. In addition Kim writes for the blog, "Her Campus" at Hofstra.
