Congratulations, Canon-Mac AP Scholars!

Twenty-eight students at Canon-McMillan High School have earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their achievement on the Advanced Plancement exams—including one national honor.

The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program provides willing and academically prepared students with the opportunity to take rigorous college-level courses while still in high school, and to earn college credit, advanced placement—or both—for successful performance on the AP Exams.
