Twenty MCHS Students Earn AP Scholar Awards
The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) provides willing 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.
Twenty students at Marshall County High School have earned AP® Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP® Exams for the 2024-2025 school year.
The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on AP® Exams.
AP® SCHOLAR WITH DISTINCTION
Six students qualified for the AP® Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP® Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. These students are Jerry Hall, Anastasiia Lisovska, Ethan Morgan, Dustin Sanders, Maverick Simmons, Jessica Wells.
AP® SCHOLAR WITH HONOR
Three students qualified for the AP® Scholar with Honor Award by receiving an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP® Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. These students are Luke Chancellor, Elston Evans, Scott Rohrer.
AP® SCHOLAR
Eleven students qualified for the AP® Scholar Award by completing three or more AP® Exams with scores of 3 or higher. The AP® Scholars are Caleb Bronson, Jaley Charette, Brayden Conner, Wyatt Doom, Gracie Egner, John Phillip Foley, Michael Harper, Elijah Holt, Brayden Javier, Connor Prince, Eli Rudd.
Through 34 different college-level courses and exams, AP® provides students the opportunity to earn college credit or advanced placement and stand out in the college admission process. In the 24-25 school year Marshall County High School taught 13 of those courses. Each exam is developed by a committee of college and university faculty and AP® teachers, ensuring that AP® Exams are aligned with the same high standards expected by college faculty at some of the nation’s leading liberal arts and research institutions. Research consistently shows that AP® students who score a 3 or higher on AP® Exams (based on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest) typically experience greater academic success in college and have higher college graduation rates than students who do not participate in AP®.
Those students still currently enrolled in high school have this school year in which to complete additional AP® courses and possibly earn a higher-level AP® Scholar Award.
We are so proud of all of our AP® Scholars, Go Marshals!
