Exeter Township Senior High School is a public secondary school located in Reading, Pennsylvania. The school is part of the Exeter Township School District. In 2010, the school reported an enrollment of 1,435 pupils in grades 9—12. The current principal is William W. Cain.
The first students moved into the school building on a 19.22 ha (47.5 acres) campus in September 1955. The Junior High School was opened in 1963, but the ninth grade pupils didn't move out of the senior high building until 1969. In 1980, a new library and science wing were added and the cafeteria and shop areas were enlarged. The school underwent major renovations in 2006, including the addition of a new cafeteria and new classroom wing. The school also renovated its football stadium, Don Thomas Stadium. In 2015, a new electronic, video accessible jumbotron scoreboard was installed in the stadium thanks to a $60,000 donation from Dairy Queen. Completion of the redevelopment saw the ninth grade move back to the senior high school.
In addition to the basic curriculum subjects of English, mathematics and science, Exeter Township Senior High School also offers courses in art, business, family & consumer science, fitness & wellness, music, social studies, technology education and world languages. The school offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses in AP Chemistry, AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature and Composition, AP Calculus, AP Microeconomics, AP Biology, AP United States Government and Politics, AP Physics B, AP United States History, AP Computer Science, and AP Psychology. Students who pass the end of course exams have the potential to be awarded college credits when they score a 3 or better. The amount and type of credit awarded is at the discretion of each college or university. In 2015, 72% of the Exeter Township students who took the exams earned a 3 or better. Students who successfully complete the exam with a score of 3 or better have the exam fee refunded to them by the school district after the score reports are received. Students who want to take AP tests in non-offered AP course are also able to do so.
