Two Recent CBNA Graduates Earn AP Scholar Awards

Two students at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy have earned AP Scholar Awards in recognition of their exceptional achievement on AP Exams.

The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) provides motivated 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 18 percent of the 1.6 million students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award.

The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on students’ performance on AP Exams. At Coe Brown Northwood Academy two students qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP Exams with grades of 3 or higher. The AP Scholars are Aidan Ceccetti and Brianna Jean. Congratulations to them.

Through more than 30 different college-level courses and exams, AP provides motivated and academically prepared students with the opportunity to earn college credit or advanced placement and stand out in the college admissions process. Each exam is developed by a committee of college and university faculty and AP teachers, ensuring that our exams are aligned with the same high standards expected by college faculty at some of the nation’s leading liberal arts and research institutions. AP is accepted by more than 3,600 colleges and universities worldwide for college credit, advanced placement, or both on the basis of successful AP Exam grades. This includes more than 90 percent of four-year institutions in the United States. Research consistently shows that AP students who score a 3 or higher on AP Exams (based on a scale from 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest) typically experience greater academic success in college and higher graduation rates than students who do not participate in AP.

The College Board is a not-for-profit membership organization whose mission is to connect students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the association is composed of more than 5,400 schools, colleges, universities, and other educational organizations. Each year, the College Board serves seven million students and their parents, 23,000 high schools, and 3,500 colleges through major programs and services in college admissions, guidance, assessment, financial aid, enrollment, and teaching and learning. Among its best-known programs are the SAT®, the PSAT/NMSQT®, and the Advanced Placement Program® (AP®). The College Board is committed to the principles of excellence and equity, and that commitment is embodied in all of its programs, services, activities, and concerns.

Letter To The Editor

As a parent of a Senior attending Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, I would like to extend my thanks to the administration for requiring the portfolio process my daughter must complete in order to graduate. Not only has it challenged my daughter to step up and create a community involved project, but it has reminded me why I enjoy being a business owner in this community. Community service hours are part of this portfolio requirement and my daughter chose to obtain her hours as a volunteer for Cocheco Valley Humane Society. Shortly after she started working with the animals and the wonderful staff at CVHS, her idea for “STUFF THE BUS” for the animals became her goal.

I feel the need to personally thank the following businesses for their donations, either for raffle items or donations on the day of the fundraiser. Without you, this small community would not be what I always remember it to be:  Northwood Diner, Northwood RV, Northwood Dunkin’ Donuts, EZ Docking Systems, Chadbourn’s, Pied Cow Gifts, Halos, Northwood Garage, Marshall’s Auto Body, Copeland Builders, Wilder Flooring, Custom Stitching, Dowst Auto Body, Sunrise Auto, Chase Water Systems, Nippo Lake Golf Course, New England Signal Systems, The Clothing Tree, Creations Plus, Northwood Police Association and the bus drivers for Northwood Transportation.

Thank you Northwood RV and Wilder Flooring for the signs!

The private donations were overwhelming and thank you to each and every one of you.  (p.s. Kathy R., thanks for showing my daughter your support in so many ways.)

And a BIG thank you to Heritage Hardware, Bruce and Sherry Detrude.

This is a day I will always remember and let’s just hope this will be carried on each year by another upcoming senior!!!

Sincerely,
Deb D’Alessandro
