AP Human Geography Students Continue Excellence
AP Human Geography is offered to students at the Ninth Grade Academy. This course is just one of fourteen different Advanced Placement courses that are offered at WBHS. At the end of the course, students can take the national AP Human Geography exam for the opportunity to earn college credit hours. The exam is
scored on a scale from 1 to 5, with 3 being the benchmark score for most colleges. During the 2015-2016 school year, 75% of William Blount students who took the AP Human Geography exam scored a 3 or higher while only 50% of students nationally scored a 3 or higher.

National Merit Finalists named at WB
During the 2016-2017 school year, four William Blount students were named National Merit Scholarship Finalists. Students are selected from across the country based on SAT scores.
Approximately 15,000 students nationwide received this honor, and seven of them live in Blount County. In addition to the four students from William Blount High School, Maryville High School had two students, and one is enrolled in a home school program.
"This is an incredible honor for our students and for William Blount, and we are looking forward to watching as our four finalists compete for National Merit Scholarships," says William Blount principal Rob Clark. Approximately 7,500 National Merit Scholarships are awarded each year.
Four of the seven local students who were named National Merit Finalists are William Blount students. Pictured
above from left to right are David Gilson, Andrew Byrd, Vance Davis, and Daniel Burns.
