Chinese Club
Chinese Club promotes social, cultural and political activities both on and off the school campus. We host various events and activities throughout the school year intended to promote awareness of Chinese culture at Alpharetta. All of our events are open to everyone; they are Chinese in theme, but not limited to Chinese in attendance. Through Chinese Club, we strive to share our culture with others. http://ahschinese.weebly.com/ |
National Chinese Honor Society
The National Chinese Honor Society (NCHS) was established in November, 1993 to recognize those accomplished high school students who study Chinese as a world language. The National Chinese Honor Society is a scholastic organization that promotes and recognizes students with good citizenship, leadership, and deeds of community service. The National Chinese Honor Society’s goal is to encourage its members to become life-long learners to gain a better understanding of Chinese language and culture, and to play an active role as constructive peace makers in the twenty-first century. The applicant must be a full time high school student (grades 9 – 12) who has studied Chinese for four semesters in high school with an average of B or higher. A qualified candidate is someone who is willing to work with the sponsor/advisor as well as with other students as a role model to play a positive role in Chinese studies. For schools that have never inducted students into the honor society, the National Chinese Honor Society strongly recommends that the first time inductees be nominated by a sponsor/advisor with the school’s approval. Future inductees from that school will only need to be identified by the school’s sponsor/advisor; however, future inductees for consideration will also be interviewed by the schools’ current HS members for recommendation. • |
