End-of-the-year Advanced Placement Exams are optional, but offered in every subject listed.
Germantown High School also offers a Healthcare Academy. The Germantown High School Academy of Healthcare Excellence is a three or four-year "school within a school" program that offers a college preparatory academic curriculum as well as career and technical experiences for students interested in careers in the healthcare industry. Our goal is to provide students with progressively higher levels of competence leading toward high-skill, high-wage careers. We strive to introduce students to diverse health career opportunities so that, upon graduation, students will be prepared for skilled entry-level jobs and/or entrance into colleges, universities, or technical schools.
In addition to a strong college-preparatory curriculum, Germantown offers the following extracurricular activities: 21 varsity sports, a varsity band program, varsity dance, Marine Corps JROTC, and over 20 clubs. Germantown's students are encouraged to participate in various community service activities.
