As in prior AP Scholar rankings, this year’s Stepinac group included students who captured more than one designation as detailed in the list below.

Frank Portanova (Class of ’93), Stepinac Vice Principal of Academics and Curriculum, said: “Once again, Stepinac students excelled in the annual AP Scholar Awards which reflect their hard work and determination to succeed,” adding: “We congratulate them on distinguishing themselves on their college transcripts. Members of the Class of 2023, who earned various AP Scholar designations, have begun their studies at top schools like Harvard, Yale, University of Notre Dame, Boston College, and University of Virgina, among others. These AP Scholar distinctions for students in the classes of 2024 and 2025 will surely help to make the current Stepinac upperclassmen highly competitive and marketable in the college admissions process as they did for the Class of 2023.”
