Edgemont Jr./Sr. High School Latin program wins June U. Stillwell Award
At this year’s Annual CAES Institute, the June U. Stillwell Outstanding New York State Latin Program Award was presented to the Edgemont Jr./Sr. High School Latin program. On behalf of the board members of the Classical Association of the Empire State, the award was presented to Carol Condos and Jonathan Hansonbrook by CAES president, Kristen Griswold.
In the Edgemont School District, Latin is alive and thriving. Serving students in grades 7–12, Edgemont’s Latin program stands out as a success story of a small public school district offering Latin—especially in a region where Latin is more often found in private schools.
Teachers Carol Condos and Jonathan Hansonbrook infuse humor, energy, and creativity into their lessons, bringing the Ecce Romani curriculum to life. Their engaging approach keeps students enthusiastic about the language and culture of ancient Rome year after year.
Through their dedication and dynamic teaching, Edgemont’s Latin program continues to flourish, proving that classical studies can thrive anywhere—with the right mix of passion and fun.
