The philosophy of the National Latin Exam is predicated on providing every Latin student the opportunity to experience a sense of personal accomplishment and success in his study of the Latin language and culture. The basic purposes of the NLE are to promote the study of Latin and to encourage the individual student. The exam is administered to all MBHS Latin students in February each year.
