Upper School seniors chosen for the honorary Dwight-Englewood School Chapter of the Cum Laude Society were recognized at a special ceremony recently.  The Cum Laude Society is the most prestigious membership organization for independent school students nationwide;  Dwight-Englewood faculty, staff, and students' family and friends were in attendance for the induction event, held in the School's Hajjar Auditorium. 

Chapter Secretary and D-E Administrator Jack Armitage remarked:  "This event is consistently one of the most memorable and meaningful during our D-E academic year.  As is tradition, the evening was highlighted by faculty members' personal comments on each of the student honorees.  The mission of Cum Laude is to recognize academic achievement in secondary schools for the purpose of promoting excellence (Areté), justice (Diké) and honor (Timé).   All the students recognized truly exemplify these values, through their classroom, co-curricular, and community outreach activities.  Congratulations to all our 2010 honorees!"

The ceremony featured guest speaker remarks from Scott Simpson, D-E Class of 2000, and musical performances by Eric Kauderer-Abrams ’10 and Micah A. Kaats ’10.   Click here for a PDF of the event program card.  The Class of 2010 Cum Laude Society inductees are as follows:
