“I’m looking forward to getting started with CodeHS once again this year. Out of my 13 students who wrote (AP) last year, I had 1 x 3, 5 x 4’s, and 7 x 5's! This is thanks, in no small part, to CodeHS and all that you and your crew do. With all of the uncertainty during last year, we were able to keep on a rigid schedule throughout the year. At one point in the spring, our school was shut down for a few weeks, but we were able to keep working with the help of CodeHS. Thank you!” — Bill Kingsland, Archbishop Carney Secondary in Canada
