About
Friends of Uplift is a non-profit organization made up of parents, alumni, and local community members that support the mission and vision of Uplift Community High School.
At Uplift, students are offered both advanced placement and dual credit classes. AP classes allow students to earn college credit while still in high school, which means they can graduate with less debt and finish their degree faster. Dual credit classes are also a great way to earn college credit, and they can help students get a head start on their college career.
