16 Point Pleasant Boro Students Honored As AP Scholars

POINT PLEASANT, NJ — The Point Pleasant Borough Board of Education honored 16 students who received AP Scholar Awards for their performances on Advanced Placement exams last spring.

The students were honored at the school board's business meeting on Monday.

The AP Scholar Awards honor students on three tiers, based on the number of tests where they scored 3 or above (on a scale of 1 to 5) and on their average score for all of their AP tests. A 3 is a passing score, and a 4 or 5 are high achievements.

Point Pleasant Borough High School had two students named AP Scholars with Distinction, three named AP Scholars with Honor and 11 named AP Scholars.

AP Scholars with Distinction are students who had an average of at least 3.5 for all the AP exams they took and scored 3 or higher on five or more of their AP tests. An AP Scholar with Honor is designated for students who have an average of 3.25 or better on all of their AP exams, and a 3 or higher on four or more of their exams. The AP Scholar designation is for students who score 3 or higher on three or more AP exams.

The AP Scholars with Distinction were Huckleberry Oakes and John Witkowski.

The AP Scholars with Honor were Dennis Glynn, Colby Johnston and Adelaide Videon-Perino.

AP Scholars were Sarah Argiropoulos, Ryan Danecker, Paige Dohan, Brady Durkac, Logan Gaudette, Justin Hurley, David LaBue, Anthony Piperi, Julia Thompson, James Tiroly, and Marisa Venturoso.
