October 2019 School Board Recognition

Proud parents packed the October school board meeting as some of our top students were recognized for their academic achievements. A big donation was also given to the Cabot School District!

Cabot Country Cruisers

An amazing Cabot running group has delivered a wonderful gift to our students and the district. The Cabot Country Cruisers promotes a healthy lifestyle through running, walking, cycling, and swimming. Since 1996, they've hosted the “Spring Fling 5K.”

At the October school board meeting, the Cruisers presented a $3,000 check to Dr. Tony Thurman.  The donation will be used to purchase equipment and curriculum for our P.E. programs.

We are grateful for the partnership the district has with the Cabot Country Cruisers. To learn more about the group, click HERE. 

Their upcoming Inspiration Run will be held Friday, October 25, where they promote fitness by running and biking 26 miles and visiting 15 Cabot schools along the way.

AP Scholars 

The district is proud to recognize the 2019 AP Scholar Award recipients from Cabot High School.

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 between 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 pleased to announce we had a total of 101 AP Scholars for the 2019 exams. 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. 

The AP Scholar Award is given to those students who have taken a minimum of three exams and achieved scores of 3 or higher on 3 of those exams.

Congratulations to our AP Scholars:
