Excellence, Justice, Honor

On Friday, May 30, sixteen students from the Class of 2025 were inducted into Dana Hall’s Cum Laude Society, which recognizes academic achievement in secondary schools for the purpose of promoting excellence, justice and honor.

Dana Hall’s Cum Laude Committee considers the cumulative academic performance of students during their 10th- through 12th-grade years, with appropriate weight to Advanced Placement and honors courses. Beyond academic excellence, membership is reserved for students who have consistently demonstrated good character, honor and integrity in all areas of their school life.

This year’s inductees include:
N. Atamian ’25
M. Bloch ’25
S. Carey ’25
Z. Cole ’25
M. Fidalgo ’25
L. Gassett ’25
Y. Hao ’25
D. Hong ’25
D. Hornblower ’25
A. Lal ’25
E. Lindstrom ’25
E. Lu ’25
N. Ryan ’25
P. Scott ’25
G. Wang ’25
Y. Wang ’25

Director of the Upper School Amy Kumpel closed the ceremony, saying to the inductees, “I encourage each of you to pause and reflect on a moment of excellence you’ve experienced, whether academic or otherwise. Be proud of that accomplishment. Because today is not only a celebration of academic achievement; it’s also a recognition of the legacy each of you is building. You’ve left an indelible mark on our school community, and we can’t wait to see how you continue to shape the future.”

Congratulations to the newest Cum Laude members!
