46 Providence Catholic Students Have Earned the AP Scholar Award
NEW LENOX (September 20, 2021) – Rev. John Merkelis, President of Providence Catholic High School, is pleased to announce that the following Providence Catholic students have earned AP Scholar Awards by the College Board. These awards are in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) Exams. “We are so proud of these young men and women who come from all over the region to strive for academic excellence and exemplify the core academic values at Providence Catholic,” said Merkelis. Many colleges accept a score of 4 or 5 on an AP exam as college credit in that subject area. In some cases, even a 3 is accepted for college credit.
In addition, seven of the students were also named AP Scholar with Distinction and 10 earned the designation of AP Scholar with Honor.
