THOMASVILLE- Thomasville City Schools Superintendent Dr. Scott Sweeting recognized numerous Thomasville High School and Scholars Academy students on Wednesday night during the board meeting for their achievement as AP Scholars.

Sweeting told those in attendance he was excited to recognize the AP Scholars for their exceptional dedication and academic excellence.

“The AP Scholars award recognizes those who have excelled in rigorous college-level coursework while still in high school, showcasing their commitment to learning and personal growth,” Sweeting said. “Each award earned not only reflects individual effort but also the support of teachers and families.”

Students who score a 3 or better on three or more AP exams are identified as AP Scholars. In comparison, an AP Scholar with Honor is a title awarded to students who earn scores of 3 or better on at least four Advanced Placement exams, and score an average of 3.25 or higher on all AP exams.

Students are acknowledged as AP Scholars with Distinction by earning a score of 3 or better on at least five exams and scoring an average of 3.5 or higher on all AP exams completed.
