Outstanding Senior in French Award
Beginning in 2003, the AATF (American Association of Teachers of French) established an Outstanding High School Senior in French Award.
Any public or private secondary school with at least one French teacher who is an AATF member may participate. Only one name per school per year will be accepted. In the event that there are multiple French teachers in a given school or department, they must decide amongst themselves who the nominee will be and submit only one name to AATF. The nomination must be made by a current AATF member.
To qualify for the award, a student must:
- have maintained an A average in French;
- have maintained a B average overall;
- be in his or her senior year at a public or private secondary school;
- have demonstrated exceptional commitment to the study of French by participating in extracurricular activities related to French which may include but are not limited to the Grand Concours, study abroad, National French Week activities, French club, or tutoring;
- at the time of graduation, have completed at least three years of formal French study;
- be a non-native speaker of French
- be nominated by an AATF member
Only one student per school per year will be accepted.
Students will receive a certificate acknowledging their award and a press release to distribute to local media; a congratulatory letter will be sent to the principal, and the student's name will be placed on the AATF Outstanding Senior Honor Roll on the AATF Web site.
Winners will be notified of their nomination prior to Société Honoraire Français' induction ceremony in the spring of each school year. Awards will be distributed during the ceremony.
