Canon-McMillan High School has been recognized for student success in Advanced Placement programs while broadening participation.

The College Board announced that Canon-McMillan High School has been named to the 2025 Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning Bronze distinction.

The AP® School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP® programs are delivering results for students while broadening access. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.

Canon-McMillan had 25.4% of seniors who took at least one AP® Exam during high school and 41.4% of seniors scoring a 3 or higher on at least one AP® Exam. The school offers 22 AP® course options, taught by 18 teachers.

“Canon-McMillan High School’s placement on the AP® School Honor Roll is a testament to the dedication and collective effort of our students, staff and community,” Principal Brittany Taylor said. “I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished and remain committed to pushing further as we aim for silver and gold. We have set a high bar and will continue to advance, ensuring every student is supported in reaching their full potential.”

“AP gives students opportunity to engage with college-level work, earn college credit and placement, and build professional career skills they can use no matter what path they choose after high school,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program. “Congratulations to this year’s AP School Honor Roll recipients for proving it’s possible to expand participation in these rigorous courses and still drive strong performance.”
