KISD Students Honored for Excellence on AP Exams
Killeen ISD is celebrating 76 students who earned recognition for top marks on their AP exams taken last spring.
The students were recognized by the College Board for college-level achievement demonstrated by their performance on multiple AP exams taken in May 2024.
“AP courses can be challenging. A significant level of commitment is required to excel in them,” Jennifer Roden, KISD’s director of Advanced Academics, said. “These students didn’t just meet expectations; they exceeded them. Their achievements reflect their hard work and the strong support they receive from their teachers, their family and the community.”
The College Board recognizes students each year in four progressively prestigious categories: AP Scholar, AP Scholar with Honor, AP Scholar with Distinction and National AP Scholar.
“Our goal is to ensure that students are not only prepared for the future but that they thrive in rigorous academic environments,” Roden said. “The success of these students is a reminder that perseverance and the right support can lead to extraordinary outcomes. We're thrilled to see them recognized on a national scale.”
