Two Federal Way High School seniors received prestigious awards from Cambridge International Examinations to acknowledge their outstanding performance in the June 2014 Cambridge examination series.

Jasmine Leung achieved the top score in the United States in AS-level biology, earning a Cambridge Scholar Award with Distinction in the process.

Rachel Arnold, with high marks in three or more Cambridge International AS-level subjects, earned a Cambridge Scholar Award with Merit.

The Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards program celebrates the success of students taking Cambridge examinations in over 40 countries around the world.

“Cambridge places learners at the center of their international education programs and qualifications, which are inspired by the best in educational thinking,” said Sherry Reach, Cambridge’s deputy regional director for USA.

“It is extremely rewarding to congratulate Cambridge learners and teachers at Federal Way High School who have worked so hard to achieve tremendous success in Cambridge AS and A-level examinations. The results are a reflection of the enormous talent in the U.S. not only amongst learners but also within the teaching profession,” Reach added.
