The Georgia Department of Education in a partnership with The College Board recently announced that the Suwanee high school won the inaugural AP Champion Award, which recognizes efforts toward removing barriers of access to AP, ensuring AP classes reflect the diversity of the school's population, illustrating creative approaches to building and sustaining a positive culture around AP coursework.
Peachtree Ridge was one of only five schools in the state to receive the honor.
Peachtree Ridge's student body will be celebrating the award during this week's "Make Your Mark" student campaigns, assistant principal Molly McAulliffe told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"Over the past two years, Peachtree Ridge has implemented an additional annual goal of striving for our AP student population to represent the overall school demographics," McAuliffe said. “Again, we have harnessed the power of student leadership to encourage under-served student populations to take AP courses in higher numbers."
