ASB envoy reports rising AP enrollment, athletics successes and pathway showcases at McMinnville High
Summary
Student government officers reported increased AP participation, multiple athletic records and upcoming pathway showcases at McMinnville High School during the May 12 board meeting.
Student leaders from McMinnville High School delivered the student envoy report at the May 12 McMinnville School District board meeting, summarizing academic enrollment trends, athletic achievements and forthcoming career-pathway events.
The ASB report said the district eliminated prerequisites for Advanced Placement (AP) classes this year, and as a result AP enrollment rose: 59 more students were enrolled in at least one AP class compared with last year, total AP enrollments increased by 133, and the number of AP exams administered rose by 137. The most popular AP subjects listed were U.S. Government and Politics, Psychology, English Literature and Composition, and English Language and Composition. Students noted that AP exams were administered digitally this year and that scores will be available in July.
On athletics and activities, student representatives reported several school records in track and field (including a new 1,500-meter record and relay records), girls golf winning the league championship, baseball and softball team standings and postseason prospects, and tennis and track district and regional schedules. The report said over 200 athletes participated in track season. Students also described pathway programming: business and marketing students working on certifications and a Main Street Market project, criminal justice students attending a mock trial and department tours, education pathway students visiting Oregon State University and Lynnfield, an engineering fair scheduled for May 20 with community judges, and a health services pathway showcase timed to coincide with the engineering fair.
Students invited the board and community to pathway showcases and school performances, including the Grizz Theater production and district fairs, and reported that horticulture students ran a plant sale that produced more than 200 species and that leftover plants would be donated in a community giveaway.
The report was received as informational; no board action was taken.
