AP Scholar Awards are granted by the College Board to students who demonstrate exceptional achievement on AP Exams.

These honors reflect the dedication, academic curiosity, and perseverance of North Ridgeville High School students who challenged themselves through rigorous, college-level coursework.
“We are incredibly proud of these students for the commitment they have shown to their learning,” said Mrs. Meghan Hignite, Principal of North Ridgeville High School. “Earning these recognitions is a meaningful accomplishment that reflects not only their hard work, but also the support of their families and the dedication of our teachers.
