Sixteen Honored by College Board
Sixteen students at Mount Michael Benedictine School have been named AP Scholars by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations. The College Board’s Advanced Placement Programs offer students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while still in high school, and to receive college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams. Each year, the College Board serves seven million students and their parents, 23,000 high school, and 3,500 colleges through major programs and services in college admissions, guidance, assessment, financial aid, enrollment and teaching and learning.

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

Paul Farnya, Evan Freilich, Matthew Goldsmith, Jeffrey Kucirek and Sam Weitkemper qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award. These young men earned a grade 5 or 4 on at least on five or six of the AP Exams taken.

Michael Gibilisco, Yifan Li, Aaron Lockee, Greg Sullivan and Mason Tye qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award. They earned grades of 3, 4, and 5 on three or four of the AP Exams taken.

Timothy Agnew, Kyle Buschelman, Timothy Huss, Grant Mathey, Timothy Prost and Bryan Vovk qualified for the AP Scholar Award. They earned a grade of 3 or higher in 3 or more AP Exams taken.

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