We are thrilled to congratulate the outstanding Spanish students from WCHS who have demonstrated excellence on the 2024 National Spanish Exam (NSE), earning well-deserved national recognition.
In this year's competition, students secured a remarkable 1 gold, and
3 bronze medals, in addition to 15 honorable mentions. The achievement of earning a medal or honorable mention on the National Spanish Exam (NSE) is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our students.
The AATSP Exams is a program of the esteemed American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP). With a rich history dating back to 1957, the National Spanish Exam (NSE) is administered annually from grades 6 through 12 and serves as a cornerstone of academic achievement in Spanish language education. As the largest of their kind in the United States, the NSE attracted over 80,000 student participants in 2024. Achieving gold, silver, or bronze status in the NSE opens doors for students to explore a variety of scholarship opportunities provided through the AATSP Exams program. Information about the AATSP Exams can be found at www.nationalspanishexam.org.
Congratulations to all the students who participated in the competition and commend them for their hard work, determination, and commitment to mastering the Spanish language.

I know the end of the school year is crazy for everyone, but as you attend all the events and programs, remember most of these things are possible because of fundraising efforts and volunteers. In order for us to keep doing all of this, we have to continue to raise funds. What better way to do that then a fun night of dinner and games!
