“Our entire Panther Nation is proud to celebrate these students’ outstanding academic achievements. Their hard work and dedication sets an example for everyone at Woodlawn High School and especially those in in Woodlawn’s AP program,” said Principal Scott Stevens. “It is also a testament to the strength of our academic program and our dedicated teachers.”
Woodlawn students can choose from 19 Advanced Placement courses, starting in their freshman year. Woodlawn is the recipient of a National Math and Science Initiative grant to support AP courses in STEM fields.
The College Board’s AP Program offers students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while still in high school, and to receive college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams. Although there is no monetary award, each award-winning student receives a certificate, and the award is acknowledged on any AP score report that is sent to college after the award has been given.
