Ridgewood High School Italian National Honor Society
About
The Italian National Honor Society meets weekly to participate in Italian cultural activities, to organize and participate in philanthropic work, and to travel to Italian cultural events hosted by the Italian Cultural Institute or the Italian Cultural Center, as well as to sit in on Italian classes at universities like the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Italian National Honor Society and the Spanish National Honor Society co-host the yearly Festa/Fiesta; a celebration which highlights the achievements of World Languages students and the cultures they learn about. INHS, SNHS and the World Languages team also host World Languages week in the Spring, an event that highlights all the cultures represented at Ridgewood High School.
