Thomas Hydrick '09 Inspires Cum Laude Inductees
On September 13, Thomas Hydrick '09 returned to campus to address the 2017 inductees of The Herbert Barks Chapter of the Cum Laude Society. Hammond's Cum Laude Society was the second chapter chartered in South Carolina and is considered a Phi Beta Kappa equivalent in secondary education recognizing academic achievement, honor and integrity. Thomas is the first alumnus to address the Society who was also a member. This year's inductees include: Sumant Rao, Sadie English, Estelle McKee, Hundley Coleman, Will Deng, Thomas Love and Cle Pennington. Thomas spoke about his experience at Hammond and how he felt his training allowed him to follow his passions of history and politics and prepared him to study at Furman, Cambridge and Vanderbilt Law School. He will soon join the law firm of Baker Botts LLP in Washington, D.C., and encourages students to make the most of their time as a Hammond student since the skills they develop will pay dividends for the in the long run.
