WHO WE ARE
Our Mission
Spanish Honor Society is a student-led organization designed to recognize high school achievement in Spanish, as well as assist the spread of knowledge about Hispanic culture within the community. SHS provides students the opportunities to be immersed and engaged in various volunteer, social, and cultural events, ultimately allowing students to pursue and spread their love of Spanish through community service events.
History
Started in 2013, Spanish Honor Society was formed to be, first and foremost, a service organization. It allows students to give back to their community while pursuing their love of Spanish beyond the classroom, the application of the Spanish language and respect for Hispanic culture, as well as rewarding high achievement.
Since its humble beginning, SHS has evolved to include tutoring for Spanish students and social gatherings like Spanish conversation nights and fiestas where students can learn more about the Spanish language, culture, and food!
