On Jan. 27, the Bethpage High School auditorium was filled with pride and celebration as students from the French, Italian and Spanish language programs were inducted into the World Languages National Honor Societies.
The ceremony featured inspiring speeches from Vincent LoBosco, an alumnus of the Bethpage Italian program; Gianna Davillas, an alumna of the Spanish program; and Assistant Principal Charlotte Hirsch-Beckman, a fluent French speaker. Each speaker highlighted the invaluable benefits of being bilingual in today’s global society.
Following the speeches, students proudly took the oaths of their respective honor societies:
Les Arcs de Triomphe Chapter – Société Honoraire de Français, with 5 new members inducted.
Luigi Pirandello Chapter – Società Onoraria Italica, welcoming 17 new members.
Loyola Chapter – Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica, with 50 students inducted.
Congratulations to all the inductees on this outstanding achievement!
