Springbrook AP Scholars recognized Sept. 23 - Seventy-nine Springbrook High School students were named AP Scholars by the College Board in recognition of their exceptional achievement on the college-level AP Exams. Only 18 percent of the more than one million high school students in more than 15,000 secondary schools worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to merit the recognition of AP Scholar. Students take AP Exams in May after completing challenging college-level courses at their high schools. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on student’s performance on AP exams. Springbrook's Ryan Gomez qualified for the National AP Scholar Award by earning an average grade of at least 4.0 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams. Nine students qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. These students are Charles Choe, Laura Fravel, Ryan Gomez, Matthew Hirsh, Emily Lawrence, Christopher Le, Jennifer Norris, Brian Salant, Pratiksha Thakore, and Ryan Gomez. Twenty-two students qualified for the AP Scholar with Honor Award by earning an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams.

Hurricane Katrina relief efforts SGA and NHS - The SGA has teamed up with the National Honor Society to organize a school- and community-wide fundraiser to aid Hurricane Katrina victims. The collection of money at student lunches will continue thru Friday, September 16. There is a jar for each class in hopes to foster a friendly competition among the grade levels, just like spirit links. Each dollar will count for one spirit point for Spirit Week in October. We are also hoping to involve the rest community by having students post and pass out fliers at local businesses - with Springbrook as an outlet for donations. Other ideas include hosting a carwash and holding the annual blood drive earlier in the year. To get involved, contact Bilqis Rock, SGA Corresponding Secretary. Football teams - Springbrook's Varsity and JV football teams are hosting their regular monthly carwash on Sunday, Sept. 18. The boys would like to offer 50 percent of the proceeds from the carwash and any donations they receive to the Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief Fund, particulary for supplies for children and youth who have been impacted in the Gulf region. The carwash will be held at Sandy Spring Bank on New Hampshire Ave from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Mark your calendars! Congratulations
Springbrook Class of 2005

It notes that Springbrook is a school of great diversity as well as great academic achievement: "[the school] gave more than 1,000 AP and IB tests last year, and many of the academic and student leaders are African American, Hispanic or other minorities."
