EHS Earns School Record Number of Gold Medals on National Latin Exam

A record 11 EHS students earned top honors on this year’s National Latin Exam, two more than anytime previously. Altogether, 25 EHS students received awards for their performance on the exam, capping a year in which the students of classics teacher Jeff Streed also fared well in a state competition. 

Lucie Morton ’22 led the way for Episcopal, earning a perfect score on the prose exam for Latin III-IV students. Bennie Wang ’23, meanwhile, earned first place in the Latin I portion of the independent school division of the Classical Association of Virginia Latin Tournament, earning 84 out of a possible 85 points.

“Our Greek and Latin students have always worked hard for these exams but I am especially excited by how well they have done this year,” Streed said.
