Congratulations to JJ Pearce High School, Lake Highlands High School and Richardson High School for being named to the Advanced Placement (AP) School Honor Roll for 2025. The College Board recognizes schools whose outstanding work welcomes students into Advanced Placement (AP) courses and supports students on the path to college success.
Schools can earn the Honor Roll recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing their school’s college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness. The AP School Honor Roll offers four levels of distinction: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
- Pearce High School – Silver Distinction
- Lake Highlands High School – Silver Distinction
- Richardson High School – Silver Distinction
Richardson High School earned the Silver level of distinction for the third straight year, Pearce High School for the second straight year, and Lake Highlands who earned the Bronze distinction last year, has earned the Silver for the first time.
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 40 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
