September 9, 2021The College Board released the Advanced Placement Scholar awards for the 2020-2021 school year, and 105 students at Bishop McGuinness Catholic High School were named AP Scholars, the largest number of BMCHS students to ever receive the honor.
With the AP Scholar Awards, College Board’s Advanced Placement Program recognizes high school students who have demonstrated outstanding college-level achievement through their performance on multiple AP Exams. Of the 2021 graduates, 56 were named AP Scholars.
In the spring, a total of 282 students grades 10-12 took 530 exams in 22 subjects with 77 percent of students earning a passing score of 3 or higher.
The Advanced Placement program offers college-level courses for students while still in high school. Beyond providing students the academic rigor and experience of a college-level class, these courses offer the opportunity for students to earn college credit for qualifying scores on the end of the year AP exam. Taking AP exams gives students an advantage in college by allowing them to earn credit while in high school and save money on higher education.
