Cum Laude Induction Ceremony 2025

Congratulations Dragon inductees!
The John Cooper School proudly celebrated academic excellence at the Cum Laude Society Induction Ceremony and Celebratory Dinner on April 14, 2025, held in the Sims Student Center.

Each year, the Cum Laude Society honors the top scholars who have demonstrated exceptional academic achievement, integrity, and a love of learning. Modeled after Phi Beta Kappa at the collegiate level, the Cum Laude distinction recognizes students who are in the top 20% of their class, reflecting a commitment to both scholarship and character.

This year's inductees join a long-standing tradition of excellence and are now part of a prestigious group that represents the highest ideals of academic pursuit at The John Cooper School. Congratulations to our newest Cum Laude members – your hard work, dedication, and passion for learning have truly made you shine. Go Dragons!
