St. Catherine's Recognized for the 2023 AP School Honor Roll
Congratulations to St. Catherine's which has been named to the 2023 AP School Honor Roll! St. Catherine's is a Gold member of the Honor Roll!
St. Catherine's was named to the 2023 AP School Honor Roll - Gold Level! The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results and broadening access for students.
Schools can earn the Honor Roll recognition annually based on their ability to increase their school’s college-going culture, provide opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximize college readiness. The AP School Honor Roll offers four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
St. Catherine's Upper School offers over 180 courses, including 24 AP and 34 honors classes. 84% of seniors last year scored a three or higher on at least one AP exam.
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 38 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Taking AP courses demonstrates to college admissions officers that students have sought the most challenging curriculum available to them, and research indicates that students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree than non-AP students.
