CCSD Students Earn AP Scholars Honors

An impressive number of Cherokee County School District students have earned national AP Scholar awards!

Every September, the AP Program recognizes an elite group of high school students from across the country who have demonstrated outstanding college-level achievement through their performance on multiple AP exams.  

Three levels of AP Scholar awards are presented based on the number of the rigorous college-credit course exams students pass and the high level of their scores.  Students who achieve a 3 or higher (on a scale of 1 to 5) on an AP exam can qualify for college credit at most state colleges and universities, thereby avoiding college tuition payments for those classes.  CCSD students through AP course credit earn nearly $4 million a year in Georgia in-state college tuition, assuming each exam equals just one college course.  CCSD high schools offer more than 30 different AP courses.

The three levels of AP Scholar awards are: AP Scholar with Distinction, average score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken, with scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams; AP Scholar with Honor, average score of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken, with scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams; and AP Scholar, scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams.

This year’s AP Scholar class includes 575 CCSD students, with students from each of CCSD’s traditional high schools and i-Grad Virtual Academy earning recognition.  The majority of students nationwide to achieve this recognition are seniors, but CCSD’s class also includes 122 juniors and one sophomore, Ryan Chase of Creekview HS.

“Congratulations to our AP Scholars on this impressive honor that represents a significant investment of your time into higher learning and achievement,” Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower said.  “The success of students across our school district speaks to the exceptional quality and dedication of our teachers – thank you for all you do to help our students learn and succeed.  Our AP program offers students opportunities to begin their college-level studies early and earn college credit without tuition fees and while still staying on their high school campus.  It’s an outstanding opportunity, and I’m grateful for the School Board’s longtime support and investment into AP.  We wish all of these scholars, and their classmates, continued success this school year in their AP courses and on their exams.”
