Congratulations to several Spanish and French students from Arlington Catholic High School who have attained national recognition for excellent performance on their National Exams.
“Attaining a medal or honorable mention for any student on the National Spanish Examinations is very prestigious,” said Kevin Cessna-Buscemi, National Director of the Exams, “because the exams are the largest of their kind in the United States with over 146,000 students participating in 2019.” Students from ACHS have recorded high achievement on the exams for the past three years and were taught by Spanish teachers Emily McClintock, Mary O’Connor, and Natalie DeLaria. The National Spanish Examinations are administered each year in grades 6 through 12, and are sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese.
The National French Contest/Le Grand Concours is an annual competition sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French. Students of French in grades 1-12, in all 50 states and abroad, take a written test and compete against students with similar educational backgrounds for prizes. French students at Arlington Catholic were taught by Andrew Palmacci.
