Owls Excel on NLE

Owls earned 140 awards for achievement on the 2023 National Latin Exam – 84 Summa Cum Laude Gold Medals, 29 Maxima Cum Laude Silver Medals, and 22 Magna Cum Laude and 5 Cum Laude certificates.
Special recognition goes to 12 students who earned perfect scores.
  • Latin I: Eighth graders Liam Curran, Abdullah Khawaja, Clay Patterson
  • Latin II: Freshmen Joshua Gramm, Trey McDonald, Henry Phan, Henry West, Carter Wildrick
  • Latin III: Sophomores Wills Frazer, Michael Liu, Oscar Liu, Kushal Patel
Students who score above the national average qualify for medals. Generally, the top 10-13% of students nationwide earn Summa Cum Laude, the next 10-13% receive Maxima Cum Laude, and so forth. There are several testing levels, including Advanced Reading Comprehension I (ARC1), Advanced Poetry I (APO1), Advanced Prose (APR1), Intermediate Latin I (IL1), and Beginning Latin I and II (BL1 and BL2).
