MATHCOUNTS Team Wins First!
Congratulations to the Middle School MATHCOUNTS team! The seventh and eighth graders won first place in the MATHCOUNTS Chapter Competition at LSU. With 13 schools and 115 students competing, Episcopal’s Autumn Reynolds placed seventh individually. The team, which is coached by Middle School math teacher James Moroney, now qualifies for the state competition. This is Episcopal’s first time returning to the state competition in many years, making the achievement even more special. MATHCOUNTS is a national organization which seeks to make learning math fun and to encourage a love of math among Middle School students. The state competition is set for March 6th in Pineville.

​Congratulations to the Episcopal MATHCOUNTS team:
Autumn Reynolds (8th)

Excelsior!  2020 National Classical Etymology Exam Winners Announced by Michael Posey
Who could have possibly vaticinated, or foretold, this year’s award winners of the National Classical Etymology Exam (NCEE)?  If you are an Upper School Latin student, you could have easily identified this rare English word’s etymology from its Latin root, vates, which means prophet.  

Congratulations to ten Episcopal students who medaled on this year’s examination of the NCEE.  

Administered in October 2019, the NCEE is based on English vocabulary words that are derived from Latin and Greek, with emphasis on academic and SAT vocabulary words.  The exam, organized by the National Junior Classical League, tests a student’s ability to handle both Latin and Greek derivatives and their usage in the English language.  This is the tenth year of the exam and over 4,000+ students participated. This year's winners are:
Gold
Sarah Griffith

Silver
Abhay Basireddy
Hudson Graham
Justin Dynes
Arya Patel
Julian Romano
Bronze
Madi Bell
James Be
Noah Russell
Wes Coleman
