Superintendent Jim Sandfort is pleased that more Lindbergh High students are accepting the academic challenge of AP courses.

“The program has experienced significant growth during the past five years,” he stated. “High school students who enroll in AP courses will be better equipped for college in addition to having the opportunity to earn college credits early.”
