The National Chinese Honor Society was established in November 1993. Its objective is to acknowledge the superior achievement of secondary school students studying Chinese as a second language. Like other honor societies, the National Chinese Honor Society not only recognizes high scholastic achievement but also good character, leadership, and service. National Chinese Honor Society members should exemplify all these standards. The Society’s goal is to promote enthusiasm for Chinese language and culture learning, commitment to advanced study, and greater cross-cultural understanding. This is also the third year that we added the “National Junior Scholars for Excellence in Chinese” award for our eligible Middle School eighth grade Mandarin students to recognize their achievement in the study of Chinese language and culture.
After reviewing their Chinese course work throughout their middle school and high school years, examining the national standards set forth, and discussing the many qualifications of gifted students, the Westtown School chapter of the National Chinese Honor Society was pleased to induct 10 new members into the society and renew 10 students’ memberships, as well as award seven Middle School students into the National Chinese Junior Scholar in Chinese.
