Oak Forest HS Inducts New Members into World Language NHS

Twenty-eight new members were inducted into the World Language National Honor Society

Oak Forest High School recently inducted 28 members into the World Language National Honor Society in the Oak Forest High School Lecture Hall. Oak Forest High School World Language National Honor Society Sponsor John Stevens and French teacher Suzanne Lappe officiated.

The World Language National Honor Society is comprised of two world language honor societies at Oak Forest High School: the Société Honoraire de Français, and the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica. Students earn entrance into the World Language National Honor Society by completing four semesters of French or Spanish, holding a cumulative A- average or higher for French/Spanish work, including the grading period of candidacy, and a B- average in all other subjects. Members must be current students actively engaged in the study of French or Spanish.

District #228 World Language Supervisor Maureen Miller welcomed the candidates and their families to the ceremony. Then, Oak Forest High School students led the first candle-lighting ceremony and the pledge. For the Société Honoraire de Français, both Marley Majetic and Amanda Beall led the ceremonies. For the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica, Gretchen Hedke, Adam Kral, Madison Hamrin and Omari Judkins led the ceremonies.
