The honor society recognizes high-achieving Italian language students in advanced Level 4 classes.
Induction is based on Italian scholarship that includes maintaining a 90 average in a student’s previous three years of Italian and a cumulative average of 85 in all other subjects, participating in the mentoring and tutoring program for lower level Italian students and exhibiting cultural leadership.
