Counseling Home

Welcome to Central Magnet School Counseling Office! We want to provide information concerning academics, testing, college, career planning, and resources for our students and families. The school counselors are committed to the academic, social, and emotional development of each student. Every CMS student is assigned to a school counselor who will support him or her throughout their entire career at CMS based on their last name.  If you have any questions or concerns contact us.

AP TESTING: 

Students that are taking AP classes that want to take the exam for college credit will need to pay for the exam in the fall.  Registration for the 2025 AP exams will begin on September 9 and will end November 1, 2024 (Spring semester courses will register in January when those classes begin).  Late payments will not be accepted due to the College Board ordering deadlines.  The cost of each exam is $99, except Research & Seminar which is $147.  Students will take their registration form and check or cash to the Attendance office during school hours.  If your student is currently receiving Free or Reduced lunch, the fee is paid by the state.  We do need those students to complete a form in the attendance office to order the test.

 

There is also an easy online payment option for credit cards.  The online payment price is $103 and $153 for Research & Seminar.  You will need to create an account and must select the correct exams your child will be taking.  Here is the link and this will open September 9:
