Dr. John E. Savel, Superintendent of Schools at Trenton Public Schools, stated that he is very proud of the efforts of all of the students that participate in Advanced Placement courses and of their teachers.  “This is a truly remarkable accomplishment by both our students and our teachers.  Not only have these students successfully completed
