🔥 BIG NEWS, PHOENIX FAMILY! 🔥
We’re excited to share that Brooks DeBartolo Collegiate High School has once again earned GOLD status on the 2025 AP School Honor Roll! Only 7% of eligible schools across the U.S. and Canada received this honor, and BDCHS is one of them! This recognition highlights our commitment to rigorous coursework, college readiness, and expanding access to AP opportunities.
How our students earned this achievement:
✨ College Culture: 68% of students took at least one AP exam — GOLD
✨ College Credit: 49% scored a 3+ — GOLD
✨ College Optimization: 27% took 5+ AP exams (including one in 9th/10th grade) — PLATINUM 🏆
We are incredibly proud of our hardworking students, dedicated teachers, and our AP Coordinator for making this possible.
Thank you, Phoenix families, for your continued support!
We LOVE our donors! Add donations in your student's name by midnight tonight for them to qualify for this week's THANK YOU treat! Visit bit.ly/bdchs-phoenix to learn more and donate today!
