Foreign Language at Huntington
The Huntington Public Schools are committed to implementing the New York State L.O.T.E. (Languages Other Than English) standards. The two standards are Communication and Culture. By learning a language other than English, students learn how to communicate in another language and begin to understand and appreciate the similarities and differences between themselves and the people who speak the targeted language. The study of a second language yields many benefits.
Each year high-performing students are inducted in the National French, Italian and Spanish Honor Societies. Through the National Honor Societies students are exposed to the cultural aspects of the languages they study and have the opportunity to participate in service activities.
