Félicitations to the first ever class of inductees of Société Honoraire de Français at Shaker High School! On Wednesday, February 12, the inaugural class of 48 students was welcomed in a ceremony in the auditorium. The group of 21 seniors and 27 juniors were celebrated for meeting the national standards for induction.

Each student inducted maintained an A average in French every marking period for the past year and a half, has shown dedication to service, engagement in French activities, and possesses honorable character. Société Honoraire de Français is chartered by the American Association of Teacher of French which calls induction into this society “the highest honor for students of French in the country.”

All 21 seniors have also earned the New York State Seal of Biliteracy and will have a designation on their diplomas and receive a medal to wear at graduation.

Congratulations to all of our new inductees!
