#BackToSchool #BeTheOne
As part of their back-to-school professional development, Pea Ridge High School teachers had the unique opportunity to celebrate the achievements of last year’s Advanced Placement (AP) Qualifiers by personally delivering congratulatory yard signs to students’ homes.
Teachers were grouped and assigned delivery routes throughout the district, turning what is typically a day of training into one filled with joy, recognition, and connection with students and families.
What Does It Mean to Be an AP Qualifier?
Students earn the title of AP Qualifier by scoring a 3, 4, or 5 on an AP Exam—scores high enough to earn college credit for the corresponding course. This achievement reflects not only academic ability but also a strong work ethic and commitment to college readiness.
Many of the signs included special AP Scholar stickers to highlight even higher levels of distinction:
🏅 AP Scholar: Earned by students who scored a 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams.
🏅 AP Scholar with Honor: Awarded to students with an average score of at least 3.25 on all exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on four or more exams.
🏅 AP Scholar with Distinction: Reserved for those with an average score of at least 3.5 on all exams taken and scores of 3 or higher on five or more exams.
We are incredibly proud of these outstanding students and the dedication they’ve shown to academic excellence. Their achievements are a testament to their hard work—and the unwavering support of our educators.

Check out what our Skills USA students were up to this summer! 🤩
Peyton Wright, Lilly Dunn, Cruz Porter, Boston Powell, and Hailey Westin were nominated to be State Officers for SkillsUSA at the state conference this spring.
They attended SOLA (Student Officers Leadership Academy) in early June, where they spent four days learning leadership skills and meeting state leaders (politicians, shareholders) at Arkansas Tech.
Later in the month, the five traveled to Atlanta, Georgia, and participated in more classes on leadership as well as advocated for state and national changes to SkillUSA and CTSO programs in general. They also got to participate in TECHSPO, which is where all the big Skill and Trade companies come together and showcase the future of the industry.
Way to represent the Ridge, Skills USA! 🌟
