COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – After earlier this year being named a National Merit Finalist, Coldwater High School senior Selena Hostetler has also received top honors in another select category.
Advanced Placement Exams by the College Board are scored on a scale of 1 to 5, where a 5 is equivalent to a grade of A in a corresponding college course. According the College Board, Hostetler not only earned the top score of 5 but was one of only 113 students in the world to earn every point possible on the AP United States Government and Politics Exam, receiving the maximum score on each portion of the exam.
According to Coldwater High School principal Bill Milnes, students of AP Government Teacher Brian Stevens continue to outperform the national average on the AP test year after year, and Stevens is often asked by the College Board to teach and mentor other teachers in regards to creating their own powerful AP Government programs.
Stevens also has traveled internationally to teach other educators about instructional strategies, co-authored a 2018 study guide for the AP Exam, and he annually is a table and team leader at the national exam readings.
