REGISTERING FOR AP EXAMS

As you know, taking the Advanced Placement exams is an important part of all AP courses. Milton High School desires that all students take AP exams for the AP classes that they have taken. Scoring well on an AP exam can possibly earn student's college credit for their high school classes, saving a significant amount on tuition.

If you choose not to take the AP exam, there is an opt-out form that needs to be signed by you and your parents. This form must be completed and returned to your teacher no later than March 11, 2019. The form can be printed from the registration site. Students can also get a copy of the form from your AP teacher.

Students wishing to take AP exams must register for their tests online. This registration will take a few minutes and can be completed from any computer with internet access. AP exams are given to Milton students at no cost. Students will have the ability to continue in this tradition by registering for their tests during the priority registration window.

Online Priority Exam Registration will begin on Friday, February 1, 2019 at 12:00 AM. You will have until Wednesday, March 6, 2019 at 11:59 PM to complete your registration at no cost. Online Late Registration will begin on Thursday, March 7, 2019 at 12:01AM, at a cost of $25 per exam, and end on Wednesday, March 12 at 11:59PM.

In order to register, students should click on the link provided on the school website or visit www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/110060 to register.

To complete the registration, students must answer all required questions.

Registration is not complete until students have printed the confirmation .pdf of the confirmation page that is provided at the end.

TRACK & FIELD

The Eagle track team opened it's 2019 campaign at a "distance only" track meet event hosted by Marietta High School and came away with one school record and many early-season personal bests.

GIRLS

The highlight of the meet for Milton was the new school record in the 2000 meter Steeplechase by senior captain Taylor Cushman (2nd-8:07.66). In her first time contesting the event, the Georgia Tech signee used her superior running ability to overcome her hurdling inexperience to work her way through the field to finish as runner-up. In the 1600m, sophomore Audrey Nichols (17th-5:44.76) 4-second personal best led the Lady Eagles as fellow sophomores Paige Chambers & Audrey Mintonalong with freshman Ella Rindt & Megan Erbey also competed in the event with most notching personal bests. In the 3200m, freshman Jessica Albregts ran to a 30-second personal best (22nd-13:15.72). Milton finished 10th out of 13 scoring teams.

BOYS

The 2000m Steeplechase took center stage again as seniors Luke Bonneville (5th-6:50.36) and team captain Gary Halverson (6th-6:59.23) scored the Eagles lone team points while running the #3 & #5 times in school history. The 1600m saw a strong race by sophomore Hayden Marshall (11th-4:46.23) and personal bests by freshman Andrew Baum (5:12.28), Charlie Reynolds (5:14.65) & Will Buchanan (5:38.80). Seniors Anish Gupta (12th-2:08.40) running a 3-second personal best, Nick Butzow (22nd-2:14.41) & Michael Barton (2:20.32) led the Milton contingent in the 800 meters. The Eagles were 14th out of 18 scoring teams. The Eagle track teams are next in action on Wednesday, Feb 20 at Roswell HS for dual meet and then return again to Roswell on Saturday, Feb 23 for their annual 8-Way meet with many schools from the North Fulton area.
