Nine Maya students and graduates have earned the designation of AP Scholar from the College Board this year in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the Advanced Placement exams. Almost 15% of the more than one million high school students in more than 14,000 secondary schools worldwide who took AP exams performed at a sufficiently high level to merit the recognition of AP Scholar. Seven students qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP Examinations with grades of 3 or higher.

The AP Scholars are Kyle deBeausset, Sven Holbik, Antonia Jauregui, Daniela Martinez, Louis Olsen, Hyung-Joo Park, and Nathaniel Whelden.

Santiago Cortes was named AP Scholar with honor by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and grades of 3 or higher on 4 or more of these exams.

Jonathan Schwarz was named an AP Scholar with distinction by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all exams taken and 3 or higher on five of these exams. He was also awarded the AP diploma for overseas study for having scored grades of 3 or higher on 5 exams in specified academic areas.

Congratulations to these students and their teachers!
