This week, four German students were recognized by the American Association of Teachers of German for scores on the National German Exam.
Sophomore Kurt Bauske earned a gold medal, sophomore Ella Carr earned an achievement certificate, junior Haley Kilcoyne earned a silver medal, and junior Sebastian Reyes-Terrazas earned an achievement certificate.
Additionally, after participating in the Houstonfest regional German contest Feb. 6, eleven competitors qualified for the state contest.
