Updated: 181 Arlington Students Earn Latin Exam Medals
38 Earn Gold, 40 Earn Silver, and 51 Earn Bronze  

 

Students from Washington-Lee and Yorktown were inadvertently left off the original news release. The students had earned a cum laude recognition. We apologize for the error. 

 

Thirty-Eight Arlington Public Schools students earned summa cum laude and received gold medals for scores received on the National Latin Exam. Nearly 200 Arlington students took the exam with 40 students also receiving a silver medal (maxima cum laude), 51 earning a bronze medal (magna cum laude) and 52 earning cum laude.

The National Latin Exam is given in March to students at six levels of Latin and covers grammar, reading comprehension, Roman culture, history, geography and mythology and etymology. The exam consists of 40 multiple choice questions and offers students a chance to test their knowledge against peers throughout the world.

The National Latin Exam was established in 1977 to provide students with a national standard to measure their academic success. In the first year, approximately 6,000 students applied to take the exam. This year, more than 139,000 students from all 50 states and 13 foreign countries participated in the National Latin Exam.

The students who earned medals are:
