MKA Inducts 21 Seniors to Cum Laude Society 2015

Congratulations to the 21 seniors from the MKA class of 2015 who were inducted into the Cum Laude Society at a formal ceremony held at the Upper School on Saturday, June 6. The Cum Laude Society, established in l906, is modeled on the Phi Beta Kappa Collegiate National Honor Society and recognizes the scholastic achievement of secondary school students. It is the highest academic honor bestowed on members of the graduating class.

William Wagner, a Cum Laude graduate from MKA's class of 2006, and a Summa Cum Laude Graduate from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, was the keynote speaker. A policy advisor to the U.S. Mission to the United Nations - Political Section, Will reflected on the fact that they are well prepared for college as MKA has taught them not only to write, but also to write well. He advised them to think about those experiences, subjects and issues that have inspired them at MKA and to explore them after they leave; to learn from their mistakes and to realize that they don't need to settle for the conventional path, MKA has prepared them to follow your interests however unconventional they are.
