WILKES-BARRE - Ten former students representing two Wilkes-Barre Area
School District high schools as well as five Bishop Hoban High School students
earned the designation of Advanced Placement Scholars in recognition of their
exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement Program exams. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Sarah Ancas, Simon Elmir and Theodore Kopec from Meyers High School, and
Ahmed Rimsha, Pascalle Banaszek, Joshua Garms, Daniel Holbrook, John Connell,
Michael Daniel and Melissa Lamb from Coughlin High School received the
distinction after the May 2005 testing. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All 10 Wilkes-Barre Area Advanced Placement Scholars graduated in June. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Jill Ciarmatori, Tracy Grogan, Christopher Hine, Megan Kwak and Larry Melf,
all from Bishop Hoban High School, also were designated Advanced Placement
Scholars. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The College Board's Advanced Placement Program offers students the
opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while still in high
school and receive college credit, advanced placement or both for successful
performance on the Advanced Placement exams. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Students who have taken advanced-placement courses who then take the exams
and score at 3 or above are named AP scholars. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Most of the nation's colleges and universities award credit, advanced
placement or both based on successful performance on the exams. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
