This spring, Viewpoint School honored the academic and cultural accomplishments of its world language students with the induction of new members into two esteemed national organizations: the Société Honoraire de Français (French Honor Society) and the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica (Spanish Honor Society). These societies recognize students for their mastery of French or Spanish, along with their continued interest in international cultures and global citizenship.

The Spanish Honor Society held its ceremony on Tuesday, March 11 in the Fletcher Family Library. Led by Corey Henderson, World Languages Co-Chair, the event brought together students and faculty to celebrate this meaningful milestone.

“The Spanish Honor Society honors students not just for their academic success, but for their ongoing involvement in promoting language and culture on campus,” said Henderson. “From Día de Muertos to World Languages Week and student-led field trips, our members help bring Hispanic culture to life at Viewpoint and beyond.”
