- AP testing will take place May 6-10 and 13-17 during both morning (8:00am to 12:30pm) and afternoon (12:00pm to 4:00pm) sessions.

We need help from parents to support the main proctor (a counselor) with administering the AP exams.

- Please note: You CANNOT proctor an exam that your student is taking.

One School | One Community | One World
Madison High School strives to create and maintain an identity affirming learning environment where our students embrace, support, and encourage each other where multiple forms of identity (i.e. race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or disability) are recognized and regarded as assets for teaching and learning. We work to ensure school is a place where students feel safe and can be themselves. We do not tolerate hate speech, racist speech, bias, or acts of discrimination in our school. We want all students to feel a sense of belonging. We want to see all students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to learning, growing, and building the best Madison High School for all our students. We are One School - One Community - One World.
