College Board Recognizes 1,119 Schools for Achieving Gender Equality in Computer Science Education

The College Board is excited to recognize schools that are engaging more female students in computer science coursework with an AP Computer Science Principles Female Diversity Award and AP Computer Science A Female Diversity Award. Specifically, College Board is honoring schools with 50% or higher female representation in either of the two AP computer science courses, or whose percentage of the female examinees meets or exceeds that of the school’s female population. Out of the 20,000 institutions that offer AP courses, 1,119 achieved this important result during the 2019-2020 school year.

SUHSD Honorees are:

  • Mar Vista High School
  • Montgomery High School
  • Sweetwater High School

PRESS RELEASE – January 25, 2021

New York – The College Board announced recipients of its annual AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award, recognizing schools for achieving gender equality in AP® Computer Science A (CSA) and/or AP Computer Science Principles (CSP). Schools honored with the AP Computer Science Female Diversity Award have taken a critical step toward closing the gender gap in the field of computer science, where women have historically been underrepresented.

Today the College Board recognized 1,119 schools for achieving either 50% or higher female examinee representation in one or both AP computer science courses, or a percentage of the female computer science examinees meeting or exceeding that of the school’s female population, during the 2019-20 school year. That’s an increase of nearly 37% over the 818 schools recognized during the 2018-19 school year. Of these schools, 831 earned the award for AP CSP, 232 for AP CSA, and 56 had the distinction of receiving the award for both courses.

SUHSD Students Recognized by NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing

Congratulations to Audrey Vargas, Sweetwater High School student for being selected as a National NCWIT Award Winner for Aspirations in Computing.

Congratulations to Shannon Yeow, Otay Ranch High School student who received an Honorable mention (AiC) by the National NCWIT Award for Aspirations in Computing.

Each year, U.S. high school students in grades 9 through 12 who self-identify as women, genderqueer, or non-binary are eligible to receive recognition for their aptitude and aspirations in technology and computing, as demonstrated by their computing experience, computing-related activities, leadership experience, tenacity in the face of barriers to access, and plans for post-secondary education. This year, 40 winners and 360 honorable mentions were selected from more than 4,288 amazing, talented young applicants. Continue reading entire article HERE

“Encouraging young women’s interest in technology careers is critical: our workforce needs their creativity and unique perspectives to produce technology that is as broad and innovative as the population it serves,” said NCWIT CEO and Co-founder Lucy Sanders.

NCWIT is a non-profit community that convenes, equips, and unites change leader organizations to increase the influential and meaningful participation of girls and women — at the intersections of race/ethnicity, class, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, and other historically marginalized identities — in the field of computing, particularly in terms of innovation and development.
