ANNOUNCEMENTS
ASLHS DEAF SCHOOLS:
Do you teach at a Deaf School and want to establish an ASL Honor Society for next school year? We are here to help!
ASL Honor Society wants to support Deaf Schools to establish ASL Honor Society chapters to allow Deaf students to join our competitions, scholarship, and other opportunities to earn cords, medals and so much more! This is a great opportunity for Deaf students to participate in this organization. Contact Stephanie Horvath, ASLHS Membership coordinator for more information at aslhs.membership@aslta.org.
ASLHS JUNIOR:
Do you teach ASL at a middle school?
American Sign Language Honor Society is now offering ASLHS JR for 6-8th graders! It's not too late to join!
Go ahead and sign up now for ASLHS. We will have medals and other ASLHS JR. benefits so you can recognize your middle school ASL students!
ASLHS Junior is for any 6th-8th grade student who takes ASL at a middle school (2 years of study preferred, unless only 1 year is offered). Membership will be offered to 6-8 grade students during the 2nd semester of ASL. ASLHS Jr. students can participate in all competitions and will be judged in a separate category. Must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher. It is strongly recommended, but not required, that sponsors require community service hours and/or ASL/Deaf-related projects for students to qualify.
Here's the BROCHURE you can use to show your administration as a resource in order to set an ASL honor society JR. at your school.
