18 Seniors Inducted Into Cum Laude Society

4/23/2018

Eighteen members of the senior class were inducted into the prestigious Cum Laude society on April 19 during a ceremony led by Head of Upper School Fletcher Carr in Benjamin Hall. English teacher Mary Ditaranto praised the talented group of seniors during her induction speech.

“The 18 of you honored today stand a part, or sit a part, from roughly 400 students sitting out there, but we’re all in the same theatre - we’re all part of the same Benjamin Community,” Ditaranto said.

“As a teacher I recognize my role in one part of that community: the classroom, where I have worked alongside most of these scholars here on the stage and let me say I’ve become a better teacher and person because of their intellectual curiosity.”

Congratulations to the eighteen new Cum Laude inductees!
