Twenty-five students at Notre Dame High School have earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP Exams.
The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program (AP) provides motivated and academically prepared students with the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school, and to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams. About 18 percent of the nearly 1.7 million students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award.
The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on AP Exams.
At Notre Dame High School, seven students qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. These students are Victoria DiStefano, Christopher Freye, Natalie McGirl, Joanna Poinsatte, David Sapala, Kevin Spellman and Daniel Starry.
Five students qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. These students are Christopher DeBarge, Anna Flynn, Victoria Godwin, Alexander Jordan, and Mary McGuire.
Thirteen students qualified for the AP Scholar Award by earning grades of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams. These students are Alexander Blanton, Ashley Boaz, Zach Boyette, John-David Bruce, Michael Cleary, Conor Delaney, Robert Ellington, Ethan McCurdy, Lauren Miller, Robert Snider, Patrick Wagner, Katherine West, and Nancy Willis.
Notre Dame High School currently offers AP Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Environmental Science, U.S. History, European History, AP English Literature & Composition, English Language & Composition, and Art.
