Several DCSD high schools are being recognized for their AP (Advanced Placement) programs, being named to the new AP School Honor Roll. Schools can earn this prestigious recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness. 

The AP Program allows students to pursue college-level courses while still in high school. These classes culminate in corresponding AP Exams that are administered once per year. New this year, the AP Honor Roll offers four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. For a school to be on the Honor Roll, it must meet certain criteria for students in the most recent graduating class: 40% or more took at least 1 AP Exam during high school, 25% or more scored a 3 or higher on at least 1 AP Exam during high school, and 2% or more took 5 or more AP Exams during high school (with at least 1 of those taken in ninth- or tenth-grade).

Special education services end when the student is no longer eligible for services, graduates, or completes his/her educational program at age 21, or moves from the district. This notification is to inform parents/guardians and former students of Douglas County School District's intent to destroy the special education records of students who exited special education services as of June 30, 2016. These records will be destroyed in accordance with state law unless the parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student notifies the school district otherwise. After five years, the records are no longer useful to the district, but may be useful to the parent/guardian or former student in applying for social security benefits, rehabilitation services, college entrance, etc. The parent/guardian or eligible (adult) student may request a copy of the records by requesting the records at this link ( Douglas County School District Transcripts and Records Requests ).
