Rodarius Adams scored a rating of “5” on this year’s AP U.S. Government & Politics Exam. AP exams are scored based on a rating of 1-5 with “1” designating “No Recommendation” for college credit and “5” designating “Extremely Well Qualified” for college credit at participating colleges and universities. Students faced difficult circumstances during this year’s AP exams as the exams were modified to be taken online at home and relied on a student’s ability to respond to one or two free-response questions instead of the normal multi-section exam. We are so proud of Rodarius!

Senior counselor Audrey Parker and Principal Jennifer Blankenship address the students during today’s graduation ceremony for the Class of 2020. The students had a virtual graduation ceremony and a socially distanced parade at the end of the school year, but this gave them a chance to walk across the stage in front of their family and friends who sat in designated areas socially distanced from other families. This was a unique year for this group of seniors due to COVID-19.
