Posted on 03/20/2025
Freeport High School has been recognized on the College Board’s prestigious 2024 AP School Honor Roll for developing an AP program that creates a college-going culture and provides students opportunities to earn college credit and maximize their college outcomes— an acknowledgment of the school’s commitment to providing students with opportunities to ensure academic success. Freeport High School was also honored with the 2024 AP Access Award for ensuring AP coursework is equally available to students regardless of their backgrounds.
This year, only 5,061 schools—representing 32% of eligible high schools nationwide—earned a place on the AP School Honor Roll. Of these schools, just 1,962 which includes Freeport High School, received the AP Access Award in recognition of their dedication to increasing AP participation while maintaining strong student performance.
“Students who take AP courses are better prepared for the challenges of college, whether they earn credit or simply gain exposure to the rigorous coursework,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Fia P. Davis. “This recognition is a testament to the hard work of our educators, students and staff who continuously prioritize academic excellence and opportunity for all our students.”
Freeport High School’s AP program has expanded over the years, offering students a variety of college-level courses in subjects such as mathematics, science, history and the humanities. For the 2024-2025 academic year, Freeport High School offers 25 AP courses with 440 students enrolled.
“The dedication and drive of our students to challenge themselves through AP courses exemplify their commitment to lifelong learning and success beyond high school,” said Freeport High School Principal Gisselle Campbell Ham. “This recognition also reflects the support of our educators, who inspire and empower students to reach their full potential through a culture of academic excellence.”
The College Board, which administers the AP program, awards this recognition to schools that demonstrate a strong commitment to AP coursework by increasing student participation, particularly among underrepresented groups, and achieving high levels of student performance.
