Congratulations to the November AP Student of the Month: Irene Nam!
Irene was nominated by Mr. Gorsuch for her exceptional work in AP Stats. Mr. Gorsuch said the following about Irene: “ Irene is constantly challenging herself to fully understand the concepts in AP Statistics. This effort on classwork and homework, in addition to her careful attention to detail in solving problems, leads to exceptional test scores. Irene is also an excellent group member during classwork, – equally comfortable asking questions and helping another student.” Congratulations, Irene!
