The mission of

Habersham Central High School is to provide

students with high content, engaging school

work.

Mission Statement: Habersham Central High School will be a school focused on equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to be responsible, productive members of their communities. Administrators will support, and teachers will employ, diverse methods to help students reach their fullest potential to become well-rounded citizens of character.

College Board Advanced Placement (AP) courses are college-level classes that a student can take while still in high school. In AP classes, the focus is not on memorizing facts and formulas, instead students engage in intense discussions, solve complex problems collaboratively, and learn to analyze and discover. AP exams give students an opportunity to earn college credit from most four-year colleges in the United States and in more than 60 other countries.
