The Class of 2023 is our first class to graduate using the Latin Honors system. Approved in 2019, this system honors students who take a rigorous course load and provides the opportunity to achieve Summa Cum Laude, Magna Cum Laude, and Cum Laude graduation honors. Similar to a college honors system, it can also help students when applying for scholarships.
