Advanced Placement (AP) Capstone Award Winners Announced

At Boise High, 16 students earned the AP Capstone Diploma, and 11 students earned the AP Seminar and Research Certificate during the 2023-24 school year. Unlike traditional AP subject exams with a single end-of-year assessment, AP Seminar and AP Research assessments are project-based and evaluate skills mastery through group projects, presentations, and individual essays completed throughout the year. Instead of focusing on one specific academic discipline, AP Seminar and AP Research are interdisciplinary: Students are encouraged to create research projects based on topics of personal interest. Students are assessed on the critical thinking, research, collaboration, time management, and presentation skills needed to complete their projects.
