Important AP Exam Information - Spring 2024 (Reminders Update)

This message is for students taking an AP exam (May 2024) and their parents.

General Information:

  • AP exams are scheduled from May 6-17 with a few students approved to take late exams on May 22 and May 23.

  • AP exams will be administered at either Frederick High School or at Trinity United Methodist Church (703 West Patrick Street, Frederick, MD 21701). 

  • Morning Exams: Students taking a morning exam should report to their testing location by 7:30 am

  • Afternoon Exams: Students taking an afternoon exam should report to their testing location by 11:30 am. If taking a morning and afternoon exam on the same day, students should report to the afternoon exam immediately following dismissal from the morning exam (it could be a little later than 11:30 am). Also, many afternoon exams extend beyond the normal school day so students will need to provide their own transportation home.

  • Fees: If a student does not show up for their AP exam, they will be charged a $40 fee which will become an FHS obligation if not paid.

Student Parking Permits

The Frederick County Public School system provides bus transportation for all students who qualify.  Students are encouraged to ride the bus.  In addition, off-campus parking is available for all students. 

Since parking spaces on campus are limited, students must demonstrate a clear need to drive to school.  A student must also display the ability to operate the vehicle in a responsible and safe manner. 

It is the student's responsibility to honor all rules and regulations.  All student drivers must clearly understand that parking a vehicle on campus is a privilege, not a right.

All students parking on campus must have a valid license and registration.

Students may only park in the student parking lot located next the the practice field in front of the building.  All student spaces are numbered. 

Students may not park in un-numbered spaces at any time (with the exception of drivers permitted to park in designated handicapped spaces).

Parking on FHS Campus
