Proclamation recognizing Ethan James upon receiving a perfect AP Computer Science Exam score.
body
WHEREAS, North Allegheny High School senior, Ethan James recently achieved a perfect score on the Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science “A” Exam; and
WHEREAS, AP Examinations are offered by the College Board every May and are used as means of assessing how much a student has learned in the course and whether it merits for college credits. AP Examinations are scored on a scale of one to five; a five is equivalent to an A in a college course. Ethan was among 65,405 students who took the AP test in May 2018, and as a junior, Ethan received a perfect score of 5; and
WHEREAS, due to Ethan’s impressive and extensive academic success, leadership skills, and service to his school and community, he was named a U.S. Presidential Scholars Program candidate; and
WHEREAS, Ethan’s talents go beyond the classroom as well. He was a starter on the North Allegheny boys cross country team that swept WPIAL and PIAA Class AAA titles last fall, and helped the Tiger track team to the Section 3-AAA crown this spring;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Council Member Cindy Kirk do hereby commend and recognize Ethan James upon receiving a perfect AP Computer Science Exam score, and I congratulate him on setting a high precedent for all students in Allegheny County.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto caused the Seal of the County of Allegheny to be affixed this 4th day of June 2019.
