High Schools receive female diversity award In addition to CHS, schools include Assumption, Barbourville, Bethlehem, Clinton County, Elliott County, Glasgow, Martha Layne Collins in Shelbyville, Mercy Academy, Sacred Heart, Seneca, Valley and Western Hills. By Calen McKinney Campbellsville Independent Schools Public Information Officer/Grant Writer, Infinite Campus Coordinator and News Team Sponsor Campbellsville High School has received an award honoring female diversity, and is one of 685 schools nationwide to receive the honor. College Board's AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award recognizes schools that are closing the gender gap and engaging more female students in computer science coursework. Specifically, the College Board is honoring schools that reached 50 percent or higher female representation in either of the two AP computer science courses in the 2018-2019 school year, or whose percentage of the female examinees met or exceeded that of the school's female population in 2019. Out of the more than 20,000 schools worldwide that offer AP courses, only 818 achieved this honor. Thirteen schools in Kentucky achieved the award. In addition to CHS, they are Assumption, Barbourville, Bethlehem, Clinton County, Elliott County, Glasgow, Martha Layne Collins, Mercy Academy, Sacred Heart, Seneca, Valley and Western Hills. CHS began offering AP computer science principles in the 2016-2017 school year. Sonya Kessler is the CHS computer science teacher. Since partnering with Advance Kentucky to expand the AP offerings at CHS, she said, more female students have enrolled in the AP computer science principles class. "There is more awareness of the benefit for AP classes in general and our students are asking for more exposure to AP classes," she said. "Gender bias in STEM fields, especially in computer science, is a big topic in our country right now, and I believe we are starting to close the gap." This story was posted on 2020-02-11 08:25:45
