Editor's note: The Roseville School District public relations office submitted the following news announcement.

One hundred eight students at Roseville Area High School recently earned the designation of AP Scholar by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level AP Exams.

 The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program (AP) 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.  About 20 percent of the 2.1 million students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award.
