It was a proud night for Freeport High School juniors and seniors, along with their parents, members of the Board of Education, administration, and staff, as they came together to celebrate the induction of 34 new members to the National Hispanic Honor Society.
The beautiful induction ceremony opened with the JROTC's presentation of colors and an address from coordinator Ms. Zoraya Bussey. Following, was a traditional candle lighting ceremony and each inductee was presented with a medal by Board of Education President Maria Jordan-Awalom, prior to taking the Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica oath.
To qualify for induction into this prestigious society, the 34 new inductees were required to maintain an excellent academic record along with community service.
The Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica (SHH) is the national organization that recognizes academic achievement in the study of the Spanish language by high school students to promote continuity of interest in Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian studies.
