The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) provides willing 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.
Nineteen students at Marshall County High School have earned AP® Scholar Awards
in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP® Exams for the 2023-2024 school year.
The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’
performance on AP® Exams.
AP® SCHOLAR WITH DISTINCTION
Three students qualified for the AP® Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an
average score of at least 3.5 on all AP® Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on five or
more of these exams. These students are Logan Chambers, Anastasiia Lisovska, and Dustin
Sanders.
AP® SCHOLAR WITH HONOR
Five students qualified for the AP® Scholar with Honor Award by receiving an
average score of at least 3.25 on all AP® Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on four or
more of these exams. These students are Jerry Hall, Samuel Martin, Ethan Morgan, Sidoney
Morgan and Karsyn Serpico.
AP® SCHOLAR
Eleven students qualified for the AP® Scholar Award by completing three or more
AP® Exams with scores of 3 or higher. The AP® Scholars are Jostchyn Alderdice, Blaire
Buford, Luke Chancellor, Steven Claborn, John Phillip Foley, Anna Robertson, Maverick
Simmons, Isabelle Washburn, Jessica Wells, Jason Zheng and Selina Zheng.
Through 34 different college-level courses and exams, AP® provides students the
opportunity to earn college credit or advanced placement and stand out in the college
admission process. In the 23-24 school year Marshall County High School taught 12 of those
courses. Each exam is developed by a committee of college and university faculty and AP®
teachers, ensuring that AP® Exams are aligned with the same high standards expected by
college faculty at some of the nation’s leading liberal arts and research institutions.
Research consistently shows that AP® students who score a 3 or higher on AP® Exams
(based on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest) typically experience greater
academic success in college and have higher college graduation rates than students who do
not participate in AP®.
Those students still currently enrolled in high school have this school year in which to
complete additional AP® courses and possibly earn a higher-level AP® Scholar Award.
We are so proud of all of our AP® Scholars, Go Marshals!
