NATIONAL LATIN EXAM RESULTS
Covenant’s Upper School students participated in the National Latin Exam in February 2012. Sponsored each year by the American Classical League and the National Junior Classical League, the exam is taken by over 150,000 students from the U.S. and twelve other countries. The majority of students taking the National Latin Exam are in high school, since that is when many students begin their study of Latin. A smaller number of middle school and college students also take the exam.
Covenant's 6th grade students took the Introduction to Latin exam, which assumes knowledge equivalent to high school introductory Latin courses. Eight students in the class received scores in the highest category of Outstanding and received ribbons.
Covenant's 7th and 8th grade students took the Latin I and Latin II exams, respectively, which assume knowledge equivalent to college elementary Latin courses. Awards were:
Latin I
Carolyn Miner – Summa Cum Laude (Gold Medal)
Mitchell Brunner – Maxima Cum Laude (Silver Medal)
Laurel Bacote, Andrew Kotecki, and Landon Hershey – Magna Cum Laude
Abigail Africa and Mercedes Patterson – Cum Laude
Latin II
Luke Perrin – Magna Cum Laude
Cerina Myong – Cum Laude
Covenant’s freshman students took the Latin III exam, which assumes knowledge equivalent to college intermediate Latin courses, and the Latin III Prose exam, which assumes extensive experience in reading authentic Latin literature. Awards were:
Latin III
Daniel Wang – Summa Cum Laude (Gold Medal)
Titus Pahn and Jimmy Rabe – Maxima Cum Laude (Silver Medal)
Masha Golub – Magna Cum Laude
Latin III Prose
Carolyn Weldy – Magna Cum Laude
Congratulations to Covenant's Latin teacher, Mrs. Clack, and the students of Covenant’s Logic and Rhetoric Schools.
