World Languages Honor Society

Faculty Contacts: Mr. Lombardi, Mrs. Meza

Sponsored by DePaul Catholic High School, the purpose of the World Languages Honor Society is to promote interest in the study of the various languages and cultures of the world and to give recognition to scholarship achievement in the study of these languages. Membership includes juniors or seniors currently enrolled in the third year, or higher, of study in Italian, French, Spanish or Chinese. Candidates, nominated by the faculty of the World Languages Department, must have achieved an average of B+ or above in their current course of study. They must also maintain a GPA of 3.0 or above and be a member in good standing of the DePaul Catholic community. The society will hold monthly meetings and engage in cultural, social and service-related activities.
