Additionally, 34 students were awarded with AP Scholar with Distinction, as they achieved an average score of at least 3.5 on all exams taken with scores of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. Four graduates from the Class of 2019, Hassaan Ahmed, Michael Dimaio, Kristen Ehlers and Dylan Macejko, earned the high honor of National AP Scholar. This award is given to students who have earned a score of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 4 or higher on eight or more of those exams. 

The College Board recognizes AP Scholars as students who engage in AP courses and challenge themselves academically with college-level material allowing them the opportunity to potentially earn college credit while still in high school.
