"We congratulate these young scholars on their cooperative work ethic and extend to them our gratitude for representing our school in such a commendable way," the release said.
The class, which had the motto "AP Biology – the number one reason for sleep deprivation," worked together both in and out of the classroom to gain mastery of the subject, according to the news release.
