Calhoun High School proudly recognizes 51 students who have earned AP Scholar distinctions from the College Board for their exceptional performance on Advanced Placement (AP) exams in 2025.
The AP Program offers several AP Scholar Awards to honor high school students who demonstrate college-level achievement through AP courses and exams. Calhoun High School currently offers 16 AP courses, an impressive range for a school of its size, allowing students to earn college credit while still enrolled in high school.
Calhoun High School achieved an impressive AP exam pass rate with 72% of students earning a qualifying score of 3 or higher, which is a 14% increase from last year and aligns with both state and national averages. CHS aims to set even higher goals for the 2025–2026 school year.
