Every year, Adams High School in conjunction with the other RCS high schools holds an annual charity week where we raise money for a cause that we really care about—in past years, we've raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities like Common Ground, the Yellow Ribbon Fund, and more—all charities with an immense impact in our very community of Rochester Hills. This year's Charity Week is March 6th-10th, 2023. Our charity this year is The Henry Ford Center for Living Donations, which supports those that need organ donations throughout the complicated process—as well as those giving living donations. They assist patients through the entire process on both ends, prioritizing patient health and safety. They're a branch of Henry Ford Health Systems, which treats over 100,000 patients every year and saves hundreds of lives every day. They also have one of the most advanced research facilities in the country, working tirelessly for ways to make transplants safer and more effective. The Henry Ford Center for Living Donations provides financial services as well, helping patients and donors navigate the complicated web of insurance and other resources for expenses. Your donation will go towards supporting them in their life-saving work that benefits our community directly. You are also welcome to make donations in the form of cash or check—please make them out to Henry Ford Center For Living Donations or Rochester Community Schools and donate to any of you/your child’s teachers, or drop it off in the office.

Rochester Schools offers a myriad of Advanced Placement courses. By taking an AP class and scoring well on the AP exam, students can potentially earn college credits as early as their sophomore year of high school. When considering taking an AP course, students must be sure they meet the prerequisite requirements for the course as outlined in the Course Description Book. They should also consult with teachers and counselors. Each college and university has unique requirements for earning credits based on students’ AP scores for each AP exam they take. The following table (https://apscore.collegeboard.org/creditandplacement/search-credit-policies) focuses on credits that can be earned at colleges and universities around the country. If students earn scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the AP exam for a particular subject area, they might be eligible for college credit. It is important to note that this information is meant as a guide, and it is imperative that students and parents check with universities to ensure that information has not changed. Specific colleges and areas of study within universities often have specific requirements that fall outside of general guidelines. Checking with universities is a MUST! Students MUST have joined the AP course class section using the join code provided by their AP teacher. Students not in an AP class must contact his/her home high school counseling office to receive a join code. Without joining an AP course section students CANNOT order an AP test. Once a student has joined an AP course section they will need to manually select whether or not they plan to take the AP test for their subject. The default setting is "undecided." Students who would like to order a test should select "yes." Students who do not plan to test should select "no." Once a student has purchased his/her AP test and joined the AP course section they should turn in his/her proof of payment to their counseling office to complete their order. Without a proof of payment a test will NOT be ordered. Please contact your home high school counseling office with any questions.
