Another big congratulations to sophomore Melody H. who not only received a Certificat D'Honneur, but was also awarded a National Bronze Medal for placing in the Top 3 in the U.S. in her division.


Made Schlesser awards sophomore Melody H. her National Bronze Medal for placing in the Top 3 in the U.S. in her division.

Le Grand Concours is an annual competition sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French. Students of French in grades 1-12, from across the country and around the world, take a written test and compete against students with similar educational backgrounds for prizes. 

In addition to awards presented for Le Grand Concours, this year's French Award was given to senior Emma R. at the Academics Awards Assembly.

Félicitations to all of our French students on a job well done!
