AP Scholars Sachem High School North proudly recognized 22 students who earned prestigious honors through the College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) Scholar Program, reflecting exceptional academic commitment and mastery of college-level coursework.

This year, 20 students earned the AP Capstone Diploma, one of the highest academic distinctions offered by the College Board. To achieve this honor, students completed both AP Seminar and AP Research and earned qualifying scores on at least four additional AP exams. Their accomplishments demonstrate advanced skills in inquiry, research, critical thinking, and academic writing.

In addition, two students earned the AP Seminar and Research Certificate, recognizing successful completion of the two-year AP Capstone sequence. These students excelled in evidence-based writing, scholarly investigation, and presenting research in a college-level format.

School officials praised the group’s achievements as a powerful reflection of Sachem’s academic excellence.

“Seeing what they were able to accomplish is really impressive,” said Patrick Barry, Chairperson of the English Department at Sachem North. “This was a very special group.”
