October 2015 School Board Recognition

The Cabot Country Cruisers and 2015 AP Scholar Award recipients were recognized at the October 20th school board meeting. The Cabot School Board also elected new officers.

Cabot Country Cruisers

The Cabot Country Cruisers is a running, walking, cycling, tri/swim club that works to promote a healthy lifestyle in our community. Since 1996, they've been hosting the “Spring Fling 5K.” The 2015 race was held March 21st. At the school board meeting, Arland Blanton and Cindy Yancey, two Cabot Cruisers members presented the district with $4,500.

The donation will help fund the district's physical education program. The money will be used to purchase equipment to help keep kids active. The Cabot Cruisers has been donating the proceeds from the Spring Fling 5K since 2009.

2015 Cabot High School AP Scholar Award Recipients 

Students enroll in AP or Advanced Placement courses to gain the experience of college-level work, within the safety and structure of the high school environment.

Students have the opportunity to gain college credit for these courses if they succeed not only in the classroom, but also on their AP exams. These are typically 3-4 hour-long comprehensive exams at the end of the year that assesses a student's knowledge of a particular subject. AP Exams are given a numerical score of 1-5, which correlates to the level of preparedness for college. A score of 3, 4, or 5 on an AP Exam is considered a successful score.

The College Board presents AP Scholar Awards in recognition of those students who have attained college-level achievement through multiple courses and multiple exams. 

The Cabot School District is proud to announce that Cabot had 73 AP Scholars for the 2015 exams. This is an increase of four award recipients from 2014. Many of our AP Scholars graduated in May. However, the school board had the honor of recognizing three groups of scholars that are currently enrolled at Cabot High School. 

*Several recipients couldn't make the school board meeting due to a schedule conflict.
