KO Announces Cum Laude Inductees
At Tuesday’s assembly, KO announced the latest Wyverns inducted into the Cum Laude Society, a national organization that recognizes students who have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement in secondary schools across the country. In addition to academic excellence, the Cum Laude Society recognizes “students who have demonstrated good character, honor, and integrity in all aspects of their school life.”

The new members of Cum Laude have achieved superlative academic success during their junior year and the first half of their senior year, as reflected in their weighted grade point averages, which rank in the top 20% of the class. They have done so in the context so familiar to all KO students–that of juggling a variety of commitments beyond the classroom, including extracurricular clubs, sports, leadership roles, the college process, and often responsibilities outside of KO as well. As is also true at KO, they have embraced the challenges, persevered through the disappointments, and thrived in an environment rich with caring adults, engaged peers, and supportive families.
