Students Shelby Allen and Melissa

Keller qualified for the AP Scholar with Honors award by earning and average

grade of at least 3.25 on all AP exams and grades of 3 or higher on four

or more of those exams.

The College Board's Advanced

Placement Program offers students the opportunity to take challenging

college-level coursework while still in high school, and to receive college

credit, advanced placement or both for the successful performance on the

AP exams. Almost 15 percent of the more than one million high school students

in more than 14,000 secondary schools worldwide who took AP exams performed

at a sufficiently high level to merit the recognition of AP Scholar.

Students took AP exams in May

after completing challenging college-level courses at their high schools.

The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on the

number of yearlong courses and exams, or their equivalent semester-long

courses and exams.
