Superintendent reports record AP performance, student recognitions and summer staff work
Summary
Superintendent Doctor Hayes told the board that 94% of AP scores were 3 or higher—reported as the district high—named two students who earned perfect AP 2‑D Art and Design scores, and highlighted summer leadership work and ongoing hiring activity.
Superintendent Doctor Hayes reported to the School District of Haverford Township board that the district received its Advanced Placement (AP) exam results and that 94% of AP scores were 3 or higher, the superintendent said, calling the result the highest in the district’s history. Hayes also said 119 more students participated in AP courses this year than in the prior year.
Hayes highlighted individual student achievements: two Haverford High School juniors, Annie Fenton and Abby Simpson, earned perfect scores on the AP 2‑D Art and Design exam. Hayes said only a small number of students worldwide earned perfect scores on that exam.
The superintendent also reported that two ninth graders, Mohammed Tanvir Tariq and Modupe Omo Lehi, were accepted into Drexel University’s Accounting, Finance and Business Initiative summer program, a one‑week residential program aimed at first‑generation high school students to cultivate leaders in accounting, finance, business and technology.
On administrative work, Hayes said the district’s administrative team concluded three days of summer learning focused on team building, leadership styles, analysis of data to develop action plans aligned with the strategic plan, increasing staff diversity and consistent behavior response strategies to support social and emotional growth. From a human resources perspective, Hayes said the district has received more candidate applications than positions available, held six final interviews over the prior two weeks and was presenting at least one candidate for hire during the meeting.
All remarks in this section were presented by Superintendent Hayes as part of the superintendent’s report.
