Sayville School District Sets New All-Time AP Scholar Record

Article Written by Linda Mittiga/Sayville Schools.

Over the past five years, Sayville High School students have been achieving AP designations in ever-increasing numbers. 

Such increases are even more significant when considering that the class-enrollment population is on the decline. 

This year, Sayville had the highest number ever of Advanced Placement Scholars:

·         In 2009, there were 77 students who earned this distinction;

·         In 2010, there were 91 students who earned this distinction;

·         In 2011, there were 94 students who earned this distinction;

·         In 2012, there were 105 students who earned this distinction and;

·         In 2013, there were 112 students who earned this distinction.

These statistics are a testament to the collective efforts and dedication of the Sayville students, staff, and supportive community. Sayville High School Principal Ron Hoffer and Assistant Principals Michael Baio and Jillian Makris extend their heartiest congratulations to all.
