World Language Honor Societies
Criteria for Induction
The World Language Honor Societies (French, German, Italian, and Spanish)
recognize excellence in the study of a World Language and commitment to the
study of the language and its culture. These organizations emphasize
community service and leadership.
Academic Criteria for Induction
1. Student must be currently enrolled in a level 3 or higher World
Language class.
2. Student must have maintained an A average at the academic level, and
an A- at the accelerated level, both for the current year, and for the
previous year in his/her World Language course. (Student has demonstrated
continued academic excellence over a two-year period.)
3. Student must commit to studying the same World Language through the
highest level offered.
Service Criteria for Induction
1. Student must be a current member of the corresponding World Language
Club.
2. Student must have completed a minimum of four (4) service activities
each year for the World language Club to which he/she belongs.
All criteria must be met and maintained.
All members of the World Language Honor Societies are evaluated each year to
ensure that they continue to meet the grade and service criteria outlined
above. Failure to maintain the specified grade and service requirements will
result in dismissal from the Honor Society, and the student’s name will be
deleted from the list of Chapter Members at the National level. The student
will then be unable to include his/her membership in the Honor Society on
his/her Senior Rave Sheet and/or College application.
