MBJH Latin Students Earn Top Honors in National and State Competitions
Mountain Brook Junior High Latin students had an exceptional year, earning recognition across multiple national exams and state competitions.
On the 2026 National Latin Exam (NLE), 26 students received awards among more than 100,000 participants worldwide, with several earning top distinctions and perfect scores. Students also excelled on the National Mythology Exam, which explores classical myths, and the National Classical Etymology Exam, highlighting their understanding of Latin and Greek roots in English. Additional honors were earned on the National Roman Civilization Exam, demonstrating strong knowledge of ancient history and culture.
MBJH students continued their success at the Alabama Junior Classical League Convention, where they competed against students from across the state and earned numerous top placements in academic, artistic, and athletic events.
These accomplishments reflect the hard work of MBJH Latin students and the leadership of their teacher, Mr. Posey. Congratulations to all of this yearβs award winners!
