AP Results Show Continued Growth & Success

July 20th, 2023 | News

Thirty-nine students and recent graduates of Padua Franciscan High School have been named Advanced Placement Scholars by The College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement (AP) Examinations. Several levels of achievement are recognized based on the number of year-long courses and examinations (or their equivalent semester-long courses and examinations). Congratulations to our Bruins and AP teachers for a great performance on AP Tests this past school year.
