The 2008 class was unable to receive full IB diplomas due to lack of certification during the 2006-2007 school year. Nonetheless, the students were not deterred and made the choice of taking full IB classes and taking the AP tests instead because they were not offered Higher Level credit examinations. The Diploma Program currently offers IB certificates in HL English, HL Biology, HL History, SL Chemistry, SL Math, SL Spansih, SL History, HL Art, SL Music, and SL Art. Donna Howard is the principal.
