On March 3, 2026, USN high school French teachers Dr. Ninon Bartz and Richard Espenant welcomed several students into the French Honor Society (Société Honoraire de Français) during the annual induction ceremony.
Students were selected for this distinction in recognition of their strong academic achievement in French as well as their genuine interest in Francophone language and culture throughout their high school studies.

Congratulations to these outstanding students. We look forward to seeing them continue their study of French and serve as ambassadors of Francophone language and culture.
