The Indian Hill School District celebrates both Indian Hill Middle School and Indian Hill High School students who joined more than 88,000 students worldwide in participating in the National Latin Exam. Each year Latin students from the District score among the top, earning awards year-after-year, and this year was no exception, with two Indian Hill Middle School students even earning perfect scores!

“After a year with so many interesting challenges, our students yet again rose to the occasion,” said Indian Hill Latin Teacher Melissa Burgess. “Mr. Atwood and I are delighted by their performance on all levels of the National Latin Exam.”  

“All of our students have worked so hard this year preparing for this exam,” said Indian Hill Latin Teacher Alex Fries. “Their hard work really shows with these results. We are so proud of all of them!”
