Update on AP Testing Registration 1/11/2021
Happy New Year!
As we move toward the end of the first semester of distance learning, we wanted to update everyone on the status of AP testing, registration and payment. First, thank you to all of the students who are currently enrolled in Semester 1 AP courses -- you were diligent and responded to our requests for ensuring that you are in the AP Portal and we thank you! If you are taking an AP course in Semester 2, stay tuned -- you will be given a Join Code for the AP Portal by your AP teachers during the first week of classes. As some of you may have already heard, the College Board has announced that they are considering additional testing options for this spring. Because we have not yet received explicit instructions or information about what those options would entail, and because we are waiting for the resulting county-wide instructions on how to proceed (given the current unknowns for fourth quarter instruction), we will provide more information about AP test registration and payment as soon as it is available. Rest assured that you will have ample time to finalize which tests you wish to take and to make payment prior to the deadline, which will be April 13, 2021.
We want you to have all the information you need to make your testing decisions. Here’s what we know so far:
As we continue to navigate through the virtual learning environment and unknowns of testing, we will keep you informed through periodic updates as we have them. Please don’t hesitate to email us with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your patience,
Suellen Hubbard and Amy Comberiate, AP Coordinators

11/5/20 - AP Deadline Is Approaching
Attention all Semester 1 AP Students! By now, you should be registered in the AP Portal for all of your first semester AP courses. If you have multiple AP courses, you should join each class with the separate join codes provided by your teachers. In order to be able to take the exams in the spring WITHOUT paying a late fee, you must join each class in the AP Portal NOW! Anyone not in the portal by Wednesday, 11/11/20, will have to pay a late fee to take the exam in the spring. This late fee is charged by College Board - the AP Coordinators and Administrative staff cannot waive this fee. If you need help registering in the AP Portal, finding a class join code, or with any other questions, please email us immediately so we can help you avoid any late fees.
Thank you!

10/12/20 - Update on AP Test Registration
Students and families,
The Advanced Placement (AP) testing program for the 2020-2021 school year has been modified to allow for the maximum flexibility when registering for exams. Students and teachers are navigating the change to the 4x4 block schedule while dealing with the uncertainty of the health and safety for spring testing. The changes below will hopefully help students feel comfortable registering for exams and demonstrating their knowledge.
Last school year, CollegeBoard implemented an emergency at home testing option. CollegeBoard is currently not planning to offer an at-home option and is expecting students to test in person with health and safety protocols. Due to social distancing requirements, some exams may be administered off-campus. Test site details will be shared as we approach the May test windows.
Critical Changes and Rationale for the 2020-2021 School Year:
AP Program Outline for Mount Hebron High School:
First Semester AP Courses
Second Semester AP Courses
Self Study/Exam Only Students
If you have specific questions, please contact Mrs. Suellen Hubbard or Mrs. Amy Comberiate.
Be on the lookout for more information as it becomes available. If you have questions about your specific course, please talk with your teacher. If you have any questions about AP exams and the registration process, please reach out to the appropriate AP Coordinator:
Mrs. Suellen Hubbard - School-Based Coordinator - suellen_hubbard@hcpss.org.
Mrs. Hubbard is the point of contact for questions about registration or other issues leading up to the exam. Mrs. Hubbard is a Paraeducator with the Special Education Department at MHHS.
Mrs. Amy Comberiate - Testing-Site Coordinator - amy_comberiate@hcpss.org
Mrs. Comberiate is the point of contact during the two-week testing period. She will be on-site during testing as the coordinator, including accommodations. Mrs. Comberiate is an English teacher on leave from Mt. Hebron and currently serving as a long-term substitute in English at Mt. Hebron.
Thank you!
Mrs. Hubbard and Mrs. Comberiate
