Students in 12 Alabama high schools achieved an 81 percent increase in
passing scores on Advanced Placement math, science and English tests
under a national education program funded by ExxonMobil. The schools
located in Jefferson County and Montgomery are participating in the
Advanced Placement Training and Incentive Programs supported by the
National Math and Science Initiative. ExxonMobil is a founding sponsor
of the initiative, committing $125 million in support, the largest-ever
corporate gift for U.S. math and science education.
Paul Dieffenthaller, superintendent for ExxonMobil’s Mobile Bay
operations, said, “Alabama students can excel at math and science given
the right opportunity. ExxonMobil is very proud that our investment is
helping prepare more Alabama students for college.”
