College Board AP Award Recognizes Napa and Vintage High School Students 

 

The Napa Valley Unified School District is proud to announce that Vintage and Napa High Schools have earned AP School Honor Roll awards. Additionally, over 257 individual NVUSD students received AP Scholar awards, with 18 receiving the National Recognition Award. The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools for their efforts to increase AP course access and to support student success. “We are incredibly proud of the hard work our students have put in to achieve a passing score on their AP exams," said Napa High School Principal Ean Ainsworth. “It is a testament to the high-quality instruction being provided by our Napa High School staff.”  

“We are proud of our students for their hard work and success,” said Vintage High School Principal Jessica Hutchinson. “We are also grateful for our amazing staff whose daily efforts make our school a place where students are supported and succeed. This College Board Honor Roll School recognition with Silver Status and the AP Access Award are affirmations of the good work that happens every day at Vintage High School.” Vintage High School was also honored with the AP Access Award for encouraging more low-income and underrepresented minority students to participate in AP courses.

“We are proud of our students' hard work and thankful for the dedicated staff who support them on their learning journey,” shared NVUSD Superintendent Dr. Rosanna Mucetti. “This achievement underscores our community's commitment to nurturing students as they become confident, compassionate, and adaptable adults who are well-prepared for life.”
