CollegeBoard recognizes AP Scholars at Calhoun High School for 2017

Calhoun High School’s AP coordinator, Casey Parker, is pleased to announce the names of students who have been named “AP Scholars” as prescribed by CollegeBoard for their performance on Advanced Placement ( AP) exams for the 2017 school year. The AP Program offers several AP Scholar Awards to recognize high school students who have demonstrated collegelevel achievement through AP courses and exams. Calhoun High School is proud to offer 15 AP courses to our 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. Calhoun High School is pleased to share the names of our 61 scholars for 2017. 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.
