Spanish Honor Society

On Thursday, March 14, 2024, the Spanish Honor Society had their formal ceremony. As the students went onstage and lit their candles, Profe Makarena Rosh told the audience how much effort the students have put into their work over the years. Students were given roles in what they could bring to share with their colleagues, so that they can be more involved with the culture and share their favorite dish. Aeleen Gutierrez brought pupusas that are originally from El Salvador. Guiterrez said they bring her “back to her hometown as well as a reminder of good times.” During the end of the ceremony, members shared their oath with the audience: “Como miembro del capitulo Leones de Warhill de la escuela Warhill, prometo usar la lengua espanola con el fin de dominar el idioma algun dia. Para mejorar y promover la amistad entre personas de otros paises, y los de nuestro pais. El Espanol puede ser un lazo fuerte entre personas de distintos origenes de raza o religion. Como ciudadano de mi pais, y miembro de la Sociedad prometon ayudar a mi communidad y a mi escuela. Esta es mi promesa y juramento.” This translates to, “As a member of the Warhill Lions Chapter of Warhill High School, I promise to use the Spanish language in order to master the language one day, to enhance and promote friendship between people from other countries and those from our country. Spanish can be a strong bond between people of different races or religions. As a citizen of my country, and a member of the Society, I promise to help my community and my school. This is my promise and oath.’’ After the ceremony ended, attendants ate various cuisines from all over the world.
