MARION — Tabor Academy will welcome twenty-eight new student members into its Cum Laude Society  at the school’s Commencement on Friday, May 31.

Founded in 1906, the Cum Laude Society grants a limited number of memberships to select schools. Tabor Academy was granted membership in 1930, and since that time over 1,100 Tabor students have been honored with a Cum Laude distinction.

For a student to earn membership in the Tabor Cum Laude chapter, he or she must rank in the top 20 percent of the graduating class and have achieved a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.8 or better in a full course of study that includes advanced-level courses in both the junior and senior years. A candidate’s school citizenship and moral character are considered as well.
