Students at Hampton Bays High School have earned Advanced Placement Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP exams taken last May.

In total, five students earned the title of AP Scholar with Distinction, six were named AP Scholars with Honor and 16 were recognized as AP Scholars,.

The district has been running its AP program for more than 20 years in an effort to provide students with college-level rigor in a high school setting.

The program, which has expanded tremendously since 2006, also provides students with the ability to earn college credits and demonstrate to colleges that they are willing to go beyond minimum high school requirements by choosing to take on a more rigorous AP course load.

Hampton Bays now provides 12 AP courses, including AP English Comp, AP Literature, Calculus AB and BC, AP Physics, AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, AP World History, AP U.S. History, AP Euro History, AP Music Theory and AP Spanish Language. With those course offerings, the district administers 235 AP exams.
