The Mount Earns Platinum Distinction: Top Award in AP School Honor Roll

The College Board announced that Mount Saint Mary Academy has been named to the 2024 Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning Platinum distinction. Platinum is the highest level in a program that includes bronze, silver, gold, and platinum categories. Mount Saint Mary Academy exceeded the criteria for Platinum recognition across all AP School Honor Roll metrics.

 

The AP School Honor Roll highlights schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access. Schools can earn AP School Honor Roll recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.

 

At Mount Saint Mary Academy, 19 Advanced Placement courses are offered, 31 sections are taught, and 13 teachers are teaching AP courses. This year, over 95 percent of the students in the Class of 2025 will graduate with participation in the AP program. 

 

Jacqueline Muratore, Assistant Directress for Faculty, Curriculum, and Planning, stated, “This Platinum Level Distinction across all AP Honor Roll metrics is a testament to the hard work of our students and the dedication of our faculty. The AP courses offered here challenge our students and prepare them for the rigors and expectations of college studies. We are so proud of our students’ achievements and look forward to another successful year of AP instruction!”

 

“AP gives students the opportunity to engage with college-level work, to earn college credit and placement, and to potentially boost their grade point averages,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “The schools that have earned this distinction are proof that it is possible to expand access to these college-level courses and still drive strong performance – they represent the best of AP.”
