The Episcopal School of Dallas Named to Advanced Placement School Honor Roll
January 8, 2026
The College Board announced that The Episcopal School of Dallas has been named to the 2025 Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning a platinum distinction.
The AP School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening participation. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria reflecting a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing students with opportunities to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.
The Platinum distinction reflects ESD’s expansive AP ecosystem, which features 36 courses and a dedicated team of 32 instructors. This culture of excellence is mirrored in the student body: 100 percent of seniors take on the challenge of at least one Advanced Placement course.
“AP gives students the opportunity to engage with college-level work, earn college credit and placement, and build professional career skills they can use no matter what path they choose after high school,” said Trevor Packer, head of the Advanced Placement program at the College Board. “Congratulations to this year’s AP School Honor Roll recipients for proving it’s possible to expand participation in these rigorous courses and still drive strong performance.”
ESD strives to cultivate an environment where students can pursue their passions and begin discovering their person. In the classroom, students work to master advanced skills across the liberal arts and sciences, including the analysis of historical narratives, the deconstruction of literary themes, and the application of scientific principles.
College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 40 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
