For the third consecutive year, WCS students have set a new record for the number of Advanced Placement (AP) Capstone Diplomas and AP Seminar and Research Certificates earned.

Fifty-nine students earned their AP Capstone Diplomas, and 45 students earned their AP Seminar and Research Certificates. The previous record, set in 2022, was 52 AP Capstone Diplomas and 22 AP Seminar and Research Certificates.

“In the five years that I have been teaching AP Research, I’ve seen college after college offer opportunities, scholarships, internships, etc. to students who completed independent research,” said Independence High AP Research teacher Dee Dee Montgomery. “The Capstone program sets students apart by placing them in a very unique category. Many AP Capstone students publish their work. To graduate high school with published work is an undeniable accomplishment not shared by many.”‘

Students from Fairview, Page, Independence and Ravenwood High are among the recipients.

To earn the AP Capstone Diploma, students must earn scores of three or higher in AP Research, AP Seminar and four additional AP exams. Students who earn a three or higher on their AP Research and AP Seminar exams but not on four additional exams receive the AP Seminar and Research Certificate.
