A Picture-Perfect Exam
Aired November 3, 2022.
Needham High School Senior, Tara Standard, earned every possible point on her AP art submission.
Hearing about a Needham student who has done well is fairly common, as are tales of them excelling once they enter the adult world. It is a rarity, though, to have the word ‘perfect’ tied to a student’s AP exam. Rarer still is to hear about one that has done so while pursuing the arts. It raised our interest, and Kathryn Brodie went to find out about what that entails.
