CollegeBoard recognizes Calhoun High AP Scholars for 2020
Calhoun High School’s AP coordinator, Madison Bunch, announced the names of students who have been named AP scholars as prescribed by CollegeBoard for their performance on Advanced Placement (AP) exams for the 2020 school year.
The AP Program offers several AP Scholar Awards to recognize high school students who have demonstrated college-level achievement through AP courses and exams. Calhoun High School offers 15 AP courses to its students.
“This is a large number of offerings for a school of our size. It is a testament to the wide range of opportunities that we continue to offer our students, allowing them to earn college credit while still enrolled in high school,” said Jennie Coker, school and communications director for CCS. “Calhoun High School is pleased to share the names of our 32 scholars for 2020. These accolades are a testament to the hard work and dedication of not only the students, but the AP teachers who work diligently to prepare these students for the exam.”
She said Calhoun High School is also extremely proud of their AP exam pass rate this year, with over 56% of students taking an AP exam getting a qualifying score of 3 or higher. This is on par with the state/national averages and CHS is setting the bar even higher for the 2020-2021 school year.
