With the announcement of the latest AP Scholar Awards and other prestigious recognitions by the College Board, HRA is starting the 2026-2027 with much to celebrate<\/p><\/div>\n

This past summer, the <\/span>College Board<\/span><\/a> announced that more than 30% of the entire Hampton Roads Academy <\/span>Upper School<\/span><\/a> student body had earned special recognition for excellence in the rigorous <\/span>Advanced Placement (AP) program<\/span><\/a> and in <\/span>college-preparatory<\/span><\/a> academics more broadly.<\/span><\/p>\n

The honors include 48 individual AP Scholar Awards, along with several prestigious designations of exceptional achievement both on College Board assessments and in the classroom at HRA. Each of the awards is a testament to the recipient\u2019s standout performance at a school that collectively excels in the AP program, as reflected in the Academy\u2019s consistent Platinum distinction on the College Board\u2019s <\/span>AP School Honor Roll<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt HRA, we take an inclusive approach to AP classes, and we are immensely proud to see so many of our students do exceptionally well on the exams, time and time again,\u201d said Assistant Head of School and Director of Upper School <\/span>Ben Rous<\/span><\/a>. \u201cThe work our students do in the classroom\u2014and the material our faculty members teach\u2014goes far beyond these tests, of course. But our students\u2019 record of strong performance on AP Exams shows that they consistently apply themselves, think critically, and meet the <\/span>high standards we set for them<\/span><\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

HRA congratulates all the hardworking, talented Navigators recognized this year!<\/span><\/p>\n
