On Monday, April 18, Morristown Beard School officially welcomed 12 seniors into The Cum Laude Society for outstanding scholastic achievement.
Congratulations to this year’s inductees: Vasiliki Amourgianos ’22, Dylan Braunstein ’22, Ethan Chestnut-Stein ’22, Tori Fergus ’22, Emily Freelund ’22, Aaron Morton ’22, Michael Sciarra ’22, Charles Sheppard ’22, Evelyn Umezinwa ’22, Anahatt Virk ’22, Julia Yermack ’22, and Tyler Zakhary ’22.
The Cum Laude Society, modeled on Phi Beta Kappa, was founded in 1906 at the Tome School in Port Deposit, Maryland, to promote learning and scholarship in secondary schools. The Beard School received its Cum Laude Society charter in 1950, the Morristown School in 1958, and Morristown Beard School in 1976.
Each chapter elects to membership those members of the senior and junior classes who have demonstrated academic excellence, intellectual curiosity, and good character.
