The German Honor Society inducts students every year who have shown excellence and enthusiasm for the study of German language and culture.  Students must be in at least German II and have maintained an "A" average for 1 1/2 consecutive semesters.  Students who become members learn about and take a quiz on the chapter namesake - Bishop Bernward of Hildesheim, Germany,  where our school's partner school, the Goethe gymnasium is.  There is a candlelight ceremony in May to induct new members.  Students express what aspect of German study had the greatest impact on them and what they would like to do with German in the future.
