AMHS Students Receive French Awards
Each year the American Association of Teachers of French acknowledges one worthy candidate nominated from each high school. The 2016 Outstanding Senior Award was presented to Matthew Frances Leadem. While a student at the Magnet, Matthew earned a 5 on the AP French Language and Culture Exam, completed 2 semesters of college level French, and 4 semesters of college level Chinese. He also chose to examine the role of personality in learning a Foreign Language as his Senior Thesis project. We salute you, Mathieu, and are reminded of the African proverb:
� Un homme qui parle une langue vaut un homme; un homme qui parle deux langues vaut deux hommes; un homme qui en parle trois vaut toute l'humanit�.�
