Four students at Mount Michael Benedictine High School have been named AP Scholars by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations. Founded in 1900, the association is composed of more than 4,500 schools, colleges, universities and other educational organizations. Each year, the College Board serves over three million students and their parents, 23,000 high schools, and 3,500 colleges, through major programs and services. The four students at Mount Michael who took AP Examinations in May 2004 performed at a sufficiently high level to merit such recognition.

     The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement - the AP Scholar, the AP Scholar with Honors and the AP Scholar with Distinction.

    Andrew Huss, son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Huss of Omaha, qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning a grade of 4 and 5 on seven of the AP Exams taken.

    Bennett Swiniarski, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Swiniarski of Omaha, qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning a grade of 3, 4, and 5 on four of the AP Exams taken.

    Michael Lundgren, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Lundgren of Omaha, and Tyler Martin, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Martin of Omaha qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing in 3 or more AP Exams, with grades of 3 or higher.

On behalf of the Advanced Placement Program and all of the Mount Michael Community, we congratulate these young men on their fine achievements.
