More than 40 current and graduated students of Douglas High School have earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on Advanced Placement exams.
The College Board's AP Program provides motivated 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.
About 18 percent of the nearly 1.7 million students worldwide who took AP exams performed at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award.
