we should all celebrate,” said Suzanne Jarrard, Assistant Superintendent for Teaching and
Learning. “The challenges students take on while taking AP and IB courses build the knowledge,
skills, and work ethic that will serve them well in college, career, and life beyond high school.
Congratulations to these students on their hard work and achievement.”
