The 2012-2013 school year was a banner year for TMI Latin students. More than half of our Latin students received some sort of national recognition for their performance on the National Latin Exam.

Moreover, two students scored perfect papers: 7th grader, Ethan Arellano, and junior, Susannah Wright. Susannah also received the Maureen O’Donnell Award and received a copy of the Oxford Classical Dictionary because she earned a gold medal for four consecutive years.
