MBA Greek and Latin Scholars Excel

Dr. Gaffney’s students achieved terrific results in national language tests recently.

Results from the National Greek Exam have come back to the school and reveal that Brian Swenson and Will Overton earned High Honors. This distinction is the equivalent of a Maxima Cum Laude paper on the National Latin Exam. Wade Longmire and Matt Wieck earned Merit citations (the equivalent of Magna Cum Laude on the NLE). These students all took the intermediate-level, not the beginning-level, exam in only their first year of Greek, and their scores represent a high level of achievement in the language.

In the Classical Association of the Middle West and South’s translation competition, both Thompson Barr and Quinton Burks earned Book Awards and Pat Killian and Matt Bellet earned letters of commendation. All four of these students are in Dr. Gaffney’s Advanced Placement Latin Literature (Catullus/Horace) class.

Congratulations to all these classics scholars!
