Amazing Results on National Latin Exam

Congratulations to the students who scored above the national average on the National Latin Exam: Kathleen Meserve, Julia Pomerleau, Catherine Cornell, Benjamin Adams, and Sophia Cartonio.

Most impressive is the fact that these students competed against those who are older and meet five times weekly! "Scientia Ipsa est potestas!"*

St. Brigid Math Students Win Big!

This year, 7th and 8th grade students from Saint Brigid School competed in the Catholic Math League. Catholic Math League is a national math competition that was started in 1997 and currently serves hundreds of schools. The competition consisted of four monthly tests given from December until March, covering a broad range of concepts in arithmetic, geometry, and algebra.

We are excited to announce that Saint Brigid’s 7th grade students were the Catholic Math League Champions for their division which consisted of schools from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Additionally, Saint Brigid 7th graders Lawrence Bossong, Carter Dexter, Nina Le, and Mary Jerome scored in the top 10% of math students competing nationwide.

Saint Brigid is also very proud of 8th grader Robert Bossong for being the individual Division Champion for his pre-algebra division which also consisted of schools and individual students from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey.  Robert was also the only student in his division, and one of only three students nationally, to achieve a perfect score on a competition test.  

Overall, Saint Brigid 8th graders were the runners-up for their pre-algebra division. 8th grade students scoring in the top ten nationally were: Robert Bossong, Mackenzie Cranna, and Brian Conti.

Congratulations to the the Saint Brigid 7th and 8th graders for such great achievement in the Catholic Math League.  Many thanks also go to their math teachers, Mrs. Luna, Mrs. Haverty, and Mr. Healy, for their dedication and efforts towards preparing for the competitions and enabling the students to excel mathematically.
