Oak Forest High School has earned the College Board AP® Computer Science Female Diversity Award for achieving high female representation in AP Computer Science A! Schools honored with the AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award have expanded girls’ access in AP computer science courses.
Seven out of eleven female students passed the AP exam in 2023. This group of students also include representatives of Tinley Park High School and Bremen High School. Although many have since graduated from Bremen High School District 228, the following students passed the AP exam last year: Cayden Booker (TPHS), Emilia Borovic, Isabel Cazares (BHS), Jillian Colangelo, Abbie Kruis, Madison Levsay, and Hailey Ostrom.
"We are so proud of the unique perspective our female students bring to the fields of Math and Science,” said Oak Forest High School Principal Jane Dempsey. “This is a recognition of our belief that anyone can succeed in any field. Our graduates are a testament to the impact created by opening doors to women."
