Salem Students Honored At UMass, Pingree School

SALEM, MA — These Salem students were among those recently earning academic or athletic distinction at colleges, universities and schools across the nation.

Andrew Jackson was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society. Jackson was initiated at the University of Massachusetts.

Jackson is among approximately 25,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter.

Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.

Pingree School said that Lyda Cabot, of Salem, has been placed on the Head of School's List for the first trimester of the 2021-2022 academic year.

Honor Roll is calculated at the end of each trimester on the basis of the grades earned during that trimester only. Students in the top 10 percent of each class earn High Honors; students in the second 10 percent of each class earn Honors; students in the third 10 percent of each class are placed on the Head of School's List.
