EPS students excel in National Latin Exam

Thirty-nine Edina Public Schools (EPS) students were presented with medals and certificates for their accomplishments on the National Latin Exam. Students who participated in the exam prepared outside of class by reading stories of mythology and history, as well as studying derivatives and poetry. EPS was represented by 60 students.

The exam, which is organized by the American Classical League, invites competitors from all over the world. This year all U.S. states and 24 foreign countries participated in the exam.
