Students have earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP exams that they took last May.

In total, 16 students were named AP Scholars, five earned the title of AP Scholar with Distinction, and six were named AP Scholars with Honor.

The school district has been running its AP program for more than 20 years in an effort to provide students with college-level rigor in a high school setting.

The program, which has expanded tremendously since 2006, also provides students with the ability to earn college credits and demonstrate to colleges that they are willing to go beyond minimum high school requirements by choosing to take on a more rigorous AP course load.

Hampton Bays now provides 12 AP courses, including AP English Comp, AP Literature, Calculus AB and BC, AP Physics, AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, AP World History, AP U.S. History, AP Euro History, AP Music Theory and AP Spanish Language.  With those course offerings, the district administers 235 AP exams.
