"Congratulations to all of our young men who achieved such
significant distinctions as AP Scholars this year. Their hard work
and diligent study is a reflection of their drive to seek excellence
in all things. Our commitment to academic rigor would not be
possible without the caring guidance, challenge and expectation
of our dedicated faculty, 22 of whom taught AP classes this year.
My sincere gratitude to all of our AP teachers and to Mr. Joseph
Kohler and Mr. John Mercorella ’07 for coordinating AP exams.
As we recognize these achievements, may all in our community
be inspired to place their intellectual accomplishments at the
service of others, which is the true heart of Jesuit education."
