We would also like to thank the small army of CAMWS members who generously volunteered to grade high school exams when the sheer quantity of submissions severely overwhelmed the committee’s capacity to evaluate them: Nicoletta Villa-Sella, The Linsly School (WV); Tom Cirillo, Montgomery Bell Academy (TN); Randall Nichols, Westminster Schools of Augusta (GA); Christine Conklin, Thomas Jefferson High School (VA); Nora Murphy, Shaker Heights High School (OH); Tom Garvey, The Meadows School (NV); Trey Suddarth, Memphis University School (TN); Keely Lake, Wayland Academy (WI); Deanna Solomon, Classical Cottage School (VA); Meredith Kendall, The Bolles School (FL); Kate Hattemer, Flint Hill School (VA); Pierre Habel, D’Evelyn Junior / Senior High School (CO); Thomas Marier, Marist School (GA); Marilyn Reinhardt, Memphis University School (TN); Marni Dillard, John Burroughs School (MO); Matthew Moore, Eleanor Roosevelt High School (MD); Alan Farnsworth, Walton High School (GA); Alleyne Rogers, TMI – The Episcopal School of Texas (TX); A.W. Saunders, Marist School (GA); Brandtly Jones, St. Anne’s-Belfield School (VA); Karl Frerichs, University School (OH); Kelly Ryan, Lovett School (GA); Heather Paff, Scottsdale Preparatory Academy (AZ); Jennifer Luongo, St. Andrew’s Episcopal School (TX); Patrick McFadden, St. Mary’s Episcopal School (TN).
- 56 schools in 19 states (and one European country) participated in the contest. Georgia (9 schools) and Virginia (8 schools) were the states with the greatest representation.
- Official submission numbers: 557 Intermediate and 479 Advanced (1036 total). Compared to last year, this marks a 5% increase in the total number of submissions.
- 28 schools submitted their exams via traditional US mail; 28 schools submitted their exams electronically.
- Awards were distributed proportionally according to the level of Latin. (For example, since about 60% of the Intermediate exams were from Latin Three, 60% of the awards in this level went to Latin Three.)
- In order to make the contest as fair and objective as possible, all of the grading was blind, and all of the papers were evaluated according to AP-style translation “chunks.”
- In determining the top awards, ties did not cause substantial problems. When ties were a factor, awards were distributed to achieve a balance between the different graders.
- In some cases, the number of Certificates of Commendation may be a little lower or higher than the stated 20% threshold, depending on how the ties worked out.
- Names of winners are listed in descending order of performance.
