2023 FREDERICK A. H AUCK SCHOLARSHIP WINNERS

The Seven Hills School awarded the 2023 Frederick A. Hauck Scholarship to eighth grader Charleigh Hayes and sophomores Kyle Wang, Keliang Yao, and Andrew Zhou.

The Hauck Scholarship recognizes students who demonstrate outstanding commitment and achievement in math or science. Recipients are chosen based on their academic achievement in math and science and a demonstrated special interest in math and science outside of the classroom.

The award is named after Dr. Frederick A. Hauck, a world-renowned nuclear scientist and philanthropist. He served on the Atomic Energy Commission and worked closely with Albert Einstein. In addition to his scientific achievements, he was a businessman, explorer, historian, industrialist, metallurgist, nature lover, and humanitarian. Winning students entering grades nine through 12 receive a one-year scholarship of $1,000 to be applied to next school year’s tuition at Seven Hills’ Upper School.

The Upper School honored its nine inductees for 2023 and 10 inductees for 2022 into the Seven Hills chapter of the Cum Laude Society, a national honor society that recognizes academic excellence, during a dinner in April.

New members from the senior class are Logan Bien, Mallory Dorsch, Sam Froehle, Abigail Li, Olivia Pohl, Emily Rosenfeld, Aana Shenai, Julia Tamai, and Evan VordemEsche.

The following seniors, who were inducted in 2021 as juniors, were also honored at the event: Shanaya Bharucha, Ellie Cain, Erin Finn, Annelise Hawgood, Jerry Hou, Charlotte Lafley, George Mentrup, Rohan Nambiar, Anna Papakirk, and Jack Ringel.

Former Upper School teacher, college counselor, and alum Wynne Curry H’71 was the event’s guest speaker. Head of School Chris Garten shared with inductees that the Cum Laude Society recognizes academic excellence in some of the country’s best high schools. Seven Hills is one of only 21 schools in Ohio with a Cum Laude Society.

“While we are celebrating the students’ accomplishments, what we are really recognizing in each of them is what goes beyond individual accomplishments. We are really celebrating the way they shared all of their gifts with others and the way they helped to make our intellectual community more joyous,” Head of Upper School Matt Bolton said.

As part of the annual Cum Laude Society induction ceremony, faculty members of the Cum Laude Committee addressed each new member with remarks compiled from quotes from the students’ teachers. Scan the QR code to read the faculty remarks for the 2023 inductees.
