Saint John's Named to Advanced Placement School Honor Roll
Saint John’s High School is pleased to share that the College Board announced that the school has been named to the Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning Gold & Platinum distinctions.
The AP® School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access.

Saint John’s High School had 350 students enroll in advanced placement courses in 2023. The school recognized 143 total students as AP Scholars, with 75% of the Class of 2023 having taken at least one AP course during their high school career.
The AP program at the school includes 26 courses such as, Art and Design, Art History, Biology, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Chinese Language and Culture, Comparative Government and Politics, Computer Science A, Computer Science Principles, English Language and Composition, English Literature and Composition, Environmental Science, European History, French Language and Culture, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Physics I, Physics 2, Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism, Physics C: Mechanics, Spanish Language and Culture, Statistics, U. S. Government and Politics, United States History and World History.
“Our commitment to the Advanced Placement Program is an opportunity that we are particularly proud of,” says Headmaster Alex Zequeira . “We continue to partner with the College Board because it enhances our students’ academic experience and, as a college prep school, it provides a level of rigor that prepares our students for college and beyond.” he adds. “I'm most especially grateful to all of our AP teachers who provide passionate and dedicated instruction each and every day,” he concludes.
“It is vital that we give our students the opportunity to best prepare themselves for higher education,” says Paul Brulé, Director of School Counseling. “We are proud of our students' commitment in taking advantage of the courses offered to better prepare them for college and beyond,” he adds.
“AP represents an opportunity for students to stand out to colleges, earn college credit and placement, and potentially boost their grade point averages,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “The schools have shown that they can expand access to these college-level courses and still drive high performance – they represent the best of our AP program.”
