Wyoming Seminary inducts students into Cum Laude Society

Wyoming Seminary College Preparatory School recently inducted 13 students into the Cum Laude Society, the national academic honor society for college preparatory schools.

The new inductees are seniors Tachporn Akharaekpanya, Bangkok, Thailand; Katherine Granger, Kingston; Kelsey Grossman, Shavertown; Eun Young Han, Seongnam-City, South Korea; Jakub Husek, Jicin, Czech Republic; Gina Insalaco, Pittston; Connor Kincheloe, Mountain Top; Katelyn Mericle, Shavertown; Katherine Michaels, Clarks Summit; Nicholas Strzeletz, Dallas; K. Nathaniel Tucker, Mountain Top; Sonali Varhade, Kingston; XinZi Xu, Wuhan Hubei Province, China, P.R.C.

The goal of the Cum Laude Society is the encouragement and rewarding of academic excellence. Wyoming Seminary’s chapter of the society was established in 1930, and each year since then previous members of the organization elect new senior class members in both fall and spring. The students elected in the fall must have a junior-year average of at least 3.4 (out of a possible 4.0); the spring inductees must have attained a cumulative junior- and senior-year average of at least 3.1. Inductees must be in the top ten percent of their class.
