AP Scholar with Honor Award

Granted to students who receive an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams.

Sports have always been a defining part of my life. I started playing baseball at age six and continued passionately through eighth grade, adding flag football, soccer, and basketball along the way. The thrill of competition and the joy of being part of a team has always been an experience I treasure and wish to pursue further. Recently, I joined a church softball league, reconnecting with that sense of camaraderie and competition that I’ve always loved. But as I entered high school I chose to pursue tennis and  I continue to play to this day.
