Concordia’s Principal, Patrick Frerking, is proud of the hard-working students, stating: “Congratulations to our AP
students and AP teachers for their achievement of 2023 AP Exam scores that reflect their focus, habits, and utilization of the gifts that God has given to each of them in their pursuit of knowledge and wisdom. AP courses are rigorous and require tremendous planning and study habits. AP students and teachers work closely together through the school year and develop a unique bond that honors both relationships and academic excellence. Well done!”
“AP represents an opportunity for students to stand out to colleges, earn college credit and placement, and potentially boost their grade point averages,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “The schools have shown that they can expand access to these college-level courses and still drive high performance – they represent the best of our AP program.”
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 38 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
