A total of 33 Cuyahoga Heights High School (CHHS) students earned AP Scholar awards from the College Board in recognition of their achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement (AP) Program exams taken during the 2023-2024 school year.
The College Board’s AP Program enables students to take college-level courses while still in high school. They can receive college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP exams. Each year, the AP program recognizes students who have performed exceptionally well on the AP exams.
Seven students qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and grades of three (3) or higher on five or more of the exams. They were recent graduates Eddie Barrett, Henry Clay, Ava Galek, Hayes Kwong, Charles Lakus, Anna Patterson, and Francesca Ross.
Five students earned the AP Scholar with Honor Award by having an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP exams taken and grades of three (3) or higher on four or more of the exams. They include current graduates Raymond Chen and Francis Connors, and current seniors Lucianna Ross, Arushi Shinde, and Yerica Tangri.
Twenty-one students qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP exams with a score of three (3) or higher. They were recent graduates Riley Casey, Richard Crane, Reese Frank, Sarah Glenn, Juie Jaenke, Kellen Katona, Georgia Kattler, Danielle Mach, Michael Norton, Lauryn Wilson, and Sophia Winslow; and current seniors Erin Deka, Kelia Goines, Sophia Kish, Sarah Kitral, Ava Kmetz, Isabella Passalacqua, Skyler Sane, Emilee Sanicky, Gavin Skuhrovec, and Anna Stepka.
“Taking AP courses requires dedication, perseverance and commitment to achieve this level of academic growth,” said CHHS Principal Scott DeTray. “Many thanks to our students, and to our teachers, who value the content and rigor required of these courses to prepare our students for future success.”
The high school offers 14 AP classes, although some classes are offered on alternating years.
