La Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica is a National Honor Society organized in 1953 by the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. Its purpose is to acknowledge the

achievementsof students of Spanish or Portuguese in high schools across the country. 

 

To charter a local chapter, the sponsoring teacher must be a member of the AATSP.  Kolene Parkes founded the Philipsburg-Osceola High School chapter in 1993.

The local chapter is named for Isabel la Católica, wife of Ferdinand and the first queen of what has become modern Spain.

At POSH, a student is eligible for membership in the Sociedad by achieving a 94% average in the first marking period in Spanish 3 OR Spanish 4/AP. Interested students must also submit a "perfile" - a statement of their intention to continue studying Spanish and what they hope to contribute to the organization. Each year, those who meet the listed requirements are invited to accept membership in the Sociedad.

The officers of the society conduct the induction ceremony, held early in the second semester, entirely in Spanish. Each inductee signs the register and receives a certificate of membership and a candle representing the light of knowledge.  

 

As students of the Advanced Placement Spanish class, students may take the Advanced Placement exam. Scoring well on the exam can earn the student college credit in Foreign Language or, if their program of studies has no language requirement, credits that may be applied to other curriculum areas. To help defray the cost of the exam, the members of the Sociedad do one fundraiser in the early spring. Funds raised can also be used to purchase the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica honor cords to wear at graduation.
