We are thrilled to announce that Madison Millet, a senior at Watford High School, has been accepted into the Gregorian Honors Society at the University of Mary. This esteemed society offers a unique and enriching extracurricular experience for students passionate about engaging deeply with the Western tradition and exploring intellectual pursuits.
In an interview, Madison described the Gregorian Honors Society as a community that cultivates both academic excellence and friendship. “The program brings together students and faculty who are united by a shared desire to pursue truth for its own sake,” she explained. “I’m excited about the monthly colloquial, the chance to engage with great speakers, and the opportunity to experience performances across different disciplines.”
The application process to the Gregorian Honors Society is highly competitive, with applicants required to submit two essays on a topic related to the Western tradition and then participate in an interview with faculty members. Madison shared how she carefully chose essay topics that resonated with her personal interests and prepared thoroughly for her interview by analyzing the assigned readings and formulating her stance and questions.
"I enjoy the opportunities that this organization provides. Not only am I learning about things that interest me, but I am also becoming part of a strong community and getting the chance to experience many great things through this organization." Madison said.
Through this prestigious program, Madison hopes to grow not only academically but personally, becoming a well-rounded individual with a deeper appreciation for intellectual pursuits and a stronger sense of community.
We are incredibly proud of Madison for her achievement and look forward to all the great things she will continue to accomplish on this new chapter at the University of Mary!
