Filed under Opinion
Students who decided to take AP government this year made a big mistake. Heading into the school year, students were told they would receive weighted AP credit for both terms.

ROAR bucks were introduced not too long ago and to be honest I have not heard much about them. I do, however, remember seeing a lot of posters around campus last year.

Over 70 people during the 2016/2017 transferred into Roseville High School from other schools in the district. This is the highest number of intradistrict transfers.
