​After successfully petitioning the College Board to work towards the creation of the first standalone AP course focusing on women (known as WAPUSH), Kristen Kelly and Serene Williams, alongside students across the U.S., are working towards a course pilot using benchmarks given by the College Board. 

 

Throughout the 2024-2025 school year,
the WAPUSH team is collecting:
 

    100 letters of support from universities willing to grant college      
     credit for an AP U.S. Women’s History course
        (download a sample letter)

    250 letters of support from high schools willing to offer the course           (sample here)
