    Manoogian-Demirdjian School Students Recognized as AP Scholars and
    Commended Students

    AGBU Manoogian-Demirdjian School (MDS) students received recognition for
    their achievement on the College Board's 2010 Advanced Placement Program
    (AP) Examinations and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation's 2011
    National Merit Scholarship Program.

    Twenty-five students at MDS earned AP Scholar Awards based on their
    outstanding performance on AP Examinations. Around 1.8 million students
    worldwide took the exams, and about 18 percent earned awards for varying
    levels of achievement.

    Nine MDS students qualified for the AP Scholar with Distinction Award by
    scoring at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken and 3 or higher on five or
    more of the exams. They are: Koko Deranteriassian, Ari Ekmekji, Nar
    Gulvartian, Nairi Khachatoorian, Mikael Matossian, Narineh Melkonian,
    Tamar Melkonian, Serli Polatoglu, and Talia Tanielian.

    Two students, Lena Galian and Silva Malkhassian, received the AP Scholar
    with Honor Award by earning an average score of at least 3.25 on all AP
    exams taken, and scores of 3 or higher on four or more of the exams.

    By completing three or more AP exams with scores of 3 or higher, 14 MDS
    students earned the AP Scholar Award. They are: Mary Azoian, Elda
    Boulgourjian, Christopher Geozian, Rafi Mardoyan, Ashley Markarian,
    Frederick Papazyan, Ani Shirvanian, Taleen Shirvanian, Artien Voskanian,
    Alex Yeghiazarian, Derek Yeghiazarian, Nicole Yeghiazarian, Vatche
    Yousefian, and Anais Zarifian.

    The AP Program at MDS was established in 1992. It grants students the
    opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while in high
    school. Students who perform well on AP exams can receive college credit
    and/or advanced placement in college.

    Two of the students who received AP Scholar Awards, Ari Ekmekji and Nar
    Gulvartian of the graduating class, also earned the 2011 National Merit
    Scholarship Program title of Commended Student based on their results on
    the 2009 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test
    (PSAT/NMSQT). Ranking among the top 5 percent of over 1.5 million
    students who entered the competition, they are among the 34,000
    Commended Students throughout the nation who are acknowledged for their
    academic promise.
