One hundred and twenty four Garden City High School students throughout levels one through five received recognition for their performance in the National Spanish Exam— an online, motivational competition that recognizes, stimulates and promotes students’ linguistic competence and proficiency in Spanish.
The NSE is a standardized online assessment for grades 6-12 that measures both content and performance standards, providing valuable feedback on the students’ proficiency and monitoring, and tracks their progress and development each year. Students who place at or above the 75th percentile at the national level receive medals (gold, silver and bronze) and are eligible to apply for several types of scholarships such as the Global Citizen Scholarship, Junior Study Abroad Program and Senior Scholarship.
This year, Garden City had NSE winners throughout multiple levels:
