In the App Store, My Calendar is advertised as secure because it has pin, Thumb ID, and Face ID options. Despite these additional safety features, the app tracks and links personal data as seen in the App Privacy section.

The Advanced Diploma and Standard Diploma only have a difference of four course credits. Students targeting an Advanced Diploma earn these extra credits through another Math class, Science class, Social Studies class, and at least three years of a Foreign Language class.

When choosing to aim for a diploma type, students should consider their high school experience as a whole and think about how their classes can benefit them in the future.
