The National Latin Examination Committee wrote recently to the faculty and administration of Saint Theresa Catholic School to indicate that out of our 50 students who sat for the examination, 31 earned distinctions. In addition, the Committee also made us aware that two students among our 6th Graders, Anastasia Dementyev and Aurelia Newcomb, earned perfect scores on the Introduction to Latin Examination. This is a test ordinarily administered to 9th Grade students. Only 442 out of more than 22,000 who sat for the test earned a perfect score. The odds that STCS would have two students earn this distinction is infinitesimally small, and a great testament to how well they have been taught by the amazing Dr. Catherine Bilow! In addition to 31 certificates and 7 ribbons overall, STCS 7th and 8th Grade students earned a total of nine medals, 4 silver and 6 gold.
