AP Students Celebrate Accomplishments
Brentwood High School held a celebration to honor
the students who scored a “3” or above on their AP
exams during the 2017-2018 school year. Graduates
as well as current students attended the celebratory
breakfast. The AP teachers were also invited to honor
the students and to be thanked for their hard work
and instruction. The Brentwood Borough School
District received a grant with the National Math and
Science Initiative (NMSI) during the 2017-2018 school
year. The grant supports STEM related education
and fosters growth in the AP areas which are English,
mathematics, science and computer science.
Brentwood students were only responsible for half
of the cost of the AP exams in these areas due to the
NMSI grant. If students scored a “3” or better, they
received a student incentive award from the grant.
All the past and present AP students were invited
to attend the celebration held at the high school. Former and present
students were presented with their awards from NMSI, and current
students were encouraged with comments about the importance of
their courses and taking the AP exams. We are very proud of the number
of students earning awards and the encouragement that our current
students received as they pursue their studies this year.
