Keller Ryan is a junior at Hickman High School who is in his fourth year of Latin. Ryan said taking Latin has benefited him in other classes by teaching him to think at a higher level.

“It has helped me in English, but I think it has also helped me in history; for example, when we study Rome. The translating of Latin has indirectly helped me learn how to think outside the box,” Ryan said.
