Dear Developing Virtue Secondary School,

Your school has earned a place on the College Board’s AP School Honor Roll for the 2023-24 school year! On behalf of everyone in the AP community, congratulations to your school and your colleagues.

The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools that have done outstanding work to welcome more students into AP courses and support them on the path to college success.

Your school is being further recognized with the AP Access Award, which honors schools that encourage more low-income and underrepresented minority students to take AP courses. The percentage of students in at least one of these categories who took at least one AP Exam before graduation is proportional to or above your school’s student population, demonstrating a clear and effective commitment to equitable access to advanced coursework. Research shows students who take AP courses and exams are more likely to attend college and graduate on time. And even for those who don’t earn college credit, advanced coursework provides early exposure to college-level work and contributes to a college-going school culture.

We know it takes a considerable school-wide effort—dedication from teachers, counselors, administrators, students, and parents—to make AP access a priority.

Again, congratulations! I’m inspired by your school’s commitment and grateful for the chance to honor your success

Sincerely,

Trevor Packer
Senior Vice President, AP and Instruction
College Board
