THOMASVILLE- Brookwood School inducted 24 students into the Antonio de Nebrija Chapter of the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica (SHH) — the Spanish Honor Society. The ceremony took place on Brookwood’s campus on Tuesday, October 24th.
To be eligible for membership in the SHH, students must be actively enrolled in an upper-level Spanish class and have maintained a 90 percent grade point average in the study of Spanish for at least three semesters.
Transfer students must have spent one full semester in the program at Brookwood to be eligible. Inductees must hold an overall GPA of 85 percent or higher and must demonstrate character, leadership, seriousness of purpose, cooperation, honesty, service, and commitment to others.
This year’s inductees include juniors Peyton Bickford, Morgan Boggs, Diya Choksi, Jacob Clark, Shep Davis, Henry Frye, Kent Grayson, Walker Jackson, Ainsley Jacobson, Will Kadel, Matthew Lauderdale, Avery Kate Lee, Sophia Lee, Emma Rhodes, Maggie Claire Richardson, John Roesel, Emmy Sanders, Miriam Simmons, Abby Stalvey, Caroline Stewart, Andrew Strickland, Waverly Waldrep, Ben Watts, and Carriyona Williams.
Kandra Williams, a Spanish teacher and the society’s sponsor said, “My desire is for students to appreciate all that the Hispanic community has to offer. Students will have the opportunity to use their language skills in real-life settings — especially in service to others — and to understand the value of speaking more than one language.”
