Computer Science

Computer science is an exciting and challenging field that is constantly evolving.  You will never be able to know all there is to know about computer science and what you do know will quickly become "the old way" of doing things.  So to be successful you need to enjoy the process — not only of programming but also of ongoing study and learning about new technologies in order to keep your skills current.

​

With the exception of AP Computer Science, each class is a single semester class.  AP Computer Science is a two

semester class.
