Eight seniors honored as AP scholars

College Board offers advanced classes to high school students that allow them to earn college and high school credit if they pass the big exam at the end of the year. The test is graded on a scale of one to five.

The amount of credit depends on the college, but typically, a three is considered passing. A five is the highest offered.

The tests were taken in May. Scores were released in the summer.

Seniors Connor Grosso, Nikolaus Self, Malayna Unkel and Abbigayle Glanville were recognized as AP Scholars. They received scores of three or higher on three or more AP exams.

Seniors James Caughron, Alyssa Gamboa and Jacob Tanner were recognized as AP Scholars with Honor. These students received scores of 3.25 on all AP exams taken and scores of three or higher on four or more AP exams.

Senior Katrina Mason was recognized as an AP Scholar with Distinction. She received scores of 3.5 on all AP exams taken and scores of three or higher on four or more AP exams.

These students were announced at the pep assembly on Sept. 21.

On Saturday, yard signs will be delivered to the home of each scholar.

“This is a new designation that AP/College Board have created to honor those students for the extraordinary effort it takes to achieve at this level,” gifted facilitator Lori Schock said.
