Cum Laude Scholars Inducted

McDonogh School's Cum Laude Society welcomed 30 new members from the Classes of 2017 and 2018 at an induction ceremony on Monday, April 24. With a speech entitled, "Only the Best!!," keynote speaker, Dr. Clarence Newsome, exhorted the inductees, as well as the rest of the audience, to devote themselves to being the best in all ways. Once this commitment is made, he explained, opportunities present themselves and anything is possible. 

The national honor society, which recognizes academic achievement, is modeled after the Phi Beta Kappa collegiate honor society. One of 18 Maryland schools with a Cum Laude chapter, McDonogh has been a member since 1955.
