81 AP Scholars and a National Merit Semi-Finalist
Bishop Ireton High School announced the outstanding academic achievements of some of its top students. The school is proud to recognize 81 Advanced Placement Scholars and a Semifinalist for the National Merit Scholarship.
Principal Denise Tobin and Head of School Tom Curry are proud to announce that Braden Hoagland ’18 (Son of Mr. Bradley and Mrs. Jill St. Marie-Hoagland of Alexandria) is a Semifinalist in the 63rd National Merit Scholarship Program. Approximately 16,000 students nationwide have been named semifinalists, and they will compete for 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $32 million that will be offered next spring. Students entered the 2018 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2016 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT). The nationwide pool of Semifinalists, representing less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. Bishop Ireton is also pleased to recognize the 81 Advanced Placement (AP) Scholars by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement (AP) Program exams, taken in May of 2017.
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. Last year Bishop Ireton High School had 233 students take 511 Advanced Placement exams in 18 subject areas.
The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on a students’ performance on the AP exams.
