Student Success in Latin
The National Mythology Exam provides an outlet for those students who enjoy the history and mythology tied to the Latin language.  For the 2020 National Mythological Exam, students in grades 8-12 tackled questions on Perseus and mythological monsters from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the Olympian gods, and a deep dive into Book III of Vergi’s Aeneid.  The National Latin exam is administered to over 10,000 students worldwide. Congratulations to the following Episcopal students!

Bronze medal winners include:
Sarah Griffith  (2022)
Justin Dynes  (2022)
Arya Patel  (2022)
Robert Xing  (2021)
