Student Testimonials
Students often learn a great deal by listening to each other's experiences. In 2008-2009 a group of juniors and seniors from each of our three senior high schools agreed to share their candid thoughts regarding advanced academic experiences in the Plano ISD and the effects that these experiences had on their learning and life.

The interviews were organized around several of the most commonly asked questions regarding advanced academic courses. In fact, you or your student may have some of these same questions when making decisions about courses. Perhaps these students' thoughts and experiences will be helpful within your family.
