Congratulations to our National Merit Semifinalist & AP Scholars!

The Class of 2020’s Tucker Kemp has qualified as a National Merit Semifinalist! In the fall of 2018, over 1.6 million juniors took the PSAT from 21,000 high schools. Less than 1% of U.S. high school seniors qualified as a semifinalist as the highest-scoring entrants in each state. Congratulations Tucker!

Congratulations to The First Academy’s 100 students who have been recognized as Collegeboard’s AP Scholars! 48 AP Scholars are current Juniors and Seniors & 53 AP scholars were from the Class of 2019. These students have demonstrated college-level achievements through the highest curriculum at The First Academy.

The First Academy’s Advanced Placement students have time and time again shown that they are serious about their education through challenging themselves to a deeper level of learning, developing excellent study habits, and earning college credits through our AP Program.

We would like to recognize and congratulate the following students!
