More than 50 Irvington High students were named Advanced Placement Scholars this year. The designation comes from The College Board, which administers Advanced Placement exams and the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

AP courses allow students to take college-level classes while in high school and to receive college credit. They take exams to demonstrate their mastery of the material and are graded on a five-point scale. The tests were taken in May. Read on to see the list of awardees.
