Week #1: Regional
Week #2: VRC Championship
Week #3: Spring Break
Week #4: FRC Championship

Our principal wasn't really happy about the missed class time prospects
At my original high school, there was a hardwired policy that if you missed 15 days of school (excused or unexcused), you were considered absent for that semester and would receive an "I" in all of your classes because you had missed enough school to be considered absent. One of my friends skied competitively, and hit that 15 day limit. He was also the valedictorian... so that policy got bent a little bit. Missing class time isn't always the end of the world.

$500 in AP fees are saving me $50,000 in college tuition... I'm firmly in the "take the credit" camp.
