<p>"March 16, 2011 — Phillips Academy seniors Jae Eui Shin and Jung Hun Koh, both of Seoul, South Korea, were named Massachusetts’ winners of the 2010 Siemens Awards for Advanced Placement, an annual program administered for the Siemens Foundation by the nonprofit College Board.</p>

<p>The awards recognize up to 100 of America’s top achievers in Advanced Placement (AP) science and mathematics courses, according to the foundation. Each year one female and one male student from each state receive a $2,000 college scholarship as recognition of the honor.</p>

<p>Shin, who has taken six AP courses to date, lists physics as her favorite field of study. Last August she scored first among U.S. contenders in the 2010 China Girls Math Olympiad, earning a gold medal and helping usher her team to a second-place finish behind China. In addition to her passions for mathematics and physics, the aspiring mathematician enjoys playing soccer and participating in PA’s community service program.</p>

<p>With 10 AP classes under his belt, Koh plans to pursue mathematics or natural sciences studies in college. The one-time USA Math Olympiad qualifier enjoys tutoring his peers and playing piano. His favorite AP course was biology.</p>

<p>This year, 98 high school students in 50 states – including 91 seniors, six juniors and one sophomore – were recognized.</p>

<p>“These students lead the nation in performance on AP math and science courses and we are proud to support them as they strive for excellence,” said Jeniffer Harper-Taylor, President of the Siemens Foundation.</p>

<p>“The Advanced Placement Program is an effective tool for fostering student achievement in math and science, and by rewarding students who excel in AP science and math, the Siemens Foundation is investing in our nation’s next generation of scientists and mathematicians,” said Gaston Caperton, President of the College Board."</p>

<p>Hey, I just have one thing to say.
Exeter is in Exeter, NEW HAMPSHIRE.
I’m going to put that out there before someone attacks it and we end up fighting.
But, congratulations to these students. I’m sure they deserved it.</p>

<p>Here is an example of some serious Competition Award Winners considered Jr. Nobel Prizes. Top 10 Nationwide, not in a state or county. Unfortunately, the BSs are not well represented. Hey, that’s life. I guess the public schools can take some credit.</p>
