Seventy-five Tappan Zee High School students earned 2022 AP Scholar Awards for “outstanding college-level achievement through their performance on multiple AP Exams,” over the course of their high school careers.

“Having so many students recognized is an indication of their desire to take upper level courses in multiple subject areas and a reflection of the hard work that our teachers do to create a rigorous yet supportive environment in their classrooms,” said Principal Rudy Arietta.

Twenty-four students earned AP Scholar With Distinction recognition for receiving an average score of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on five or more exams. The average score for TZHS students who earned the 2022 AP Scholar With Distinction designation was 3.98.
