College Board's AP Exams

For the third year, L’Anse Creuse High School biology teacher, Lesley Argiri, participated in the annual reading and scoring of the College Board’s AP examinations in June.  This year Argiri read 1,500 essays over an eight-day period.  Each year the AP Program, sponsored by the College Board, gives capable high school students an opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses and examinations and, based on their exam performance, to receive credit and/or advanced placement when they enter college.
 The AP Reading is a unique forum in which academic dialogue between secondary school and college educators is fostered and strongly encouraged.  "The Reading draws upon the talent of some of the finest teachers and professors that the world has to offer," said Trevor Packer, vice president of the Advanced Placement Program at the College Board.  "We are very grateful for the contributions of talented educators like Argiri."
