Abbey Williams, Principal James Irwin Charter High School
Advanced Placement (AP) classes give students the chance to tackle college-level work while they're still in high school and earn college credit and placement. We had a total of 129 students take AP exams with a total of 253 exams administered in 2026. Out of those 129 students we had 37 students earn an AP Scholar designation. These are based on all AP exams students took during the 25/26 school year and in previous years.
A big "well done" to our students for crushing the national averages, and a huge shout-out to Marissa Deblieck, Jordan Jones, Shauna Riley, Mike Tomlinson, Hannah Fisher, Shannon Jordan, Brandy Forrest, Sam Ashmore, Tanya Zarco, Christopher Everhart, Grace Brueggemann for their excellent teaching.
