RECORD SETTING AP TESTS FOR CLASS OF 2010

THE CLASS OF 2010 REALLY DID OUTDUE THEMSELVES THIS TIME.... THEY WERE ABLE TO HAVE 87 PERCENT OF STUDENTS WHO ACHIEVED A THREE OR HIGHER ON THE AP EXAM LAST MAY... THAT BROKE LAST YEAR'S 75 PERCENT RECORD, TRULY AMAZING.. THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR A THREE OR HIGHER IS ONLY 50 PERCENT.

SO THE CLASS OF 2010 WAS ABLE TO BEAT THE NATIONAL AVERAGE BY AN INCREDIBLE 37 PERCENT, SIMPLY AWESOME..

CONGRAGULATIONS TO BLOCK G AS WELL FOR BEING THE FIRST CLASS TO HAVE 100 PERCENT RECEIVE A THREE OR HIGHER, THAT SIMPLY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF AND TO DOUBLE THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, AGAIN JUST AWESOME.

TO ALL WHO WERE MEMBERS OF AP 2009 CONGRAGULATIONS ON YOUR RECORD SCORES AND I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN PROUDER OF YOUR RESULTS. ALL OF YOUR HARD WORK PAYED OFF ......................

I WILL BE POSTING THE NEW MEMBERS OF THE AP HALL OF FAME SHORTLY FOR ALL OF YOU WHO RECEIVED A 4 OR 5 ON THE EXAM, THAT WAS ALSO RECORD SETTING AS FIFTEEN OF YOU FIT INTO THAT CATEGORY, TOPPING THE PREVIOUS HIGH OF FOURTEEN.

GREAT JOB AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLOS TO ALL AP US ALUMNI HOME FOR BREAK

HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND WELCOME HOME TO ALL AP US ALUMNI, IT WAS GOOD TO SEE SOME OF YOU ALTHOUGH BRIEFLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. IT IS ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE MEMBERS OF THE VARIOUS PAST AP CLASSES STOP BY AND LET US KNOW HOW THEY ARE DOING IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION WORLD. THEY ALWAYS ASK HOW THIS YEAR'S AP CLASSES ARE DOING AND THEY ARE VERY INTERESTED IN THE NEW RECRUITS CARRYING ON THEIR LEGACY OF TRADITION. I AM ALWAYS EXCITED TO HEAR HOW THEY ARE DOING IN THEIR COLLEGE HISTORY COURSES AND LOVE THE STORIES OF HOW THEY ARE STILL USING THEIR READERS IN COLLEGE TO HELP WITH SURVEY COURSES. PART OF WHAT DRIVES ME AS AN AP TEACHER IS TO UPHOLD THE STANDARDS THEY SET BY PUSHING THE CURRENT CLASSES TO MAINTAIN THAT STANDARD OF ACHIEVEMENT. I KNOW THEY WOULD WANT YOU TO WORK AS HARD AS THEY DID AND HOPEFULLY EXPERIENCE AS MUCH SUCCESS AS THEY DID AS WELL. THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT TRADITION IS ALL ABOUT
