For the Core 40, Academics Honors (AHD), and Technical Honors (THD) diplomas, students must take a mathematic or quantitative reasoning course each year they are enrolled in high school. A student on a General Diploma must earn 2 credits in a mathematics or quantitative reasoning course during their junior or senior year in high school. Listed below are the current quantitative reasoning courses offered at Angola High School: AP Biology AP Chemistry AP Environmental Science AP Physics 1 (algebra based) AP Physics 2 (algebra based) AP Physics C Advanced Life Science, Animals Agribusiness Management Landscape Management Intro to Accounting Business Mathematics Personal Financial Responsibility Computer Systems Global Economics Integrated Chemistry/Physics Chemistry Precision Machining I (Vocational) Economics Precision Machining II (Vocational) Angola High School provides its students with the most comprehensive list of Advanced Placement and dual credit course offerings in Steuben County.
