Results are in from the 70th Annual Latin Week competitions sponsored by the Philadelphia Classical Society. The classical society was founded in 1924 to promote the teaching of Latin and Greek in the Philadelphia area. Latin students from schools in the area can submit works of art from several categories including drawings, painting, sculptures, posters, models, or literary works like poems or stories. They can also take an academic test, and they qualify for an award if they place in the top five highest scores, for their level of Latin, in their district. Latin III and IV students were given an exceptionally hard test, similar to some tests from an intermediate Latin university level course. Congratulations to the following winners from PAHS:
