High Scores and Honors for Groton Classics Students

It was another year of outstanding achievement for Groton’s young Classics scholars, who maintained a streak of impressive scores on national exams. 

Thirty-four percent of the 205 test-takers earned summa cum laude honors (gold medals) on the National Latin Exam, with 25 percent earning maxima cum laude (silver), 13 percent magna cum laude, and 9 percent cum laude.

 

Six students wrote perfect papers: on the Latin I exam—Jaden Adinkrah '23, Eleanor Taggart '24, Chloe Zheng '23, and Aimee Zheng '23, and on the Latin II exam, Amy Sharma '23. 

 

Groton’s Greek students also stood out amidst their peers nationwide, with all who took the National Greek exam earning recognition for their achievement. Joshua Guo '20, Andrew Porter '20, and John Rogers '22 received blue ribbons (the highest honor), and Nicole Lee Heberling '21 and Sophia Wu '21 received red ribbons (high honors). Also receiving recognition were Daphne Bulley '23, Tate Burgin '21, John Michaud '20, Katie Stovall '20, and Julia Trowbridge '22.

 

Congratulations to our Latin and Greek scholars—and to the teachers behind their success!
