New National Honor Society Members Inducted at Ceremony

The Modern and Classical Languages department held its eighth annual Honor Societies Induction Ceremony on April 19.  The ceremony began with an inspiring talk by alumna Katherin Hudkins, ’06, who spoke about studying Spanish at both Harker and Smith College, as well as her life-changing experience living in Ecuador during her junior year at Smith. Hudkins highly recommended that the students take advantage of study abroad programs at some point during their education.

After Hudkins spoke, each National Honor Society (French, Japanese, Latin, Mandarin and Spanish) made a short cultural presentation, which included beautiful songs in French, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish. The Latin group performed a humorous skit. New members were then inducted into each society, which has its own specific criteria set by the national office of the organization. “In general, all induct a very select group of students with high averages in their language courses,” said Abel Olivas, upper school Spanish teacher. Congratulations to all of the students for this achievement.
