Ever felt like you wanted to fit into school more? Ever wanted to promote your foreign language class? Join the Korean Honor Society! The Korean Honor Society does a wide range of things like tutoring, making booklets, helping out with Korean class events, and more!
The start of KHS
Ever since the Korean Honor Society officially became a part of Westfield High School’s many honor societies, Korean culture has spread throughout Westfield, allowing people who have different backgrounds and cultures to learn more about Korean culture. Many non-Koreans have joined KHS to explore the beauty of Korean culture.
Overview
In the Korean Honor Society, the members create booklets for each Korean class, help the students who struggle with learning the Korean language by tutoring them, and participate in school events like curriculum night, I-NITE, and more! This is a great extracurricular activity to add on to college applications as well. After a student completes four years of Korean language class, they receive a pin and a cord at their graduation ceremony, as well as a certificate with South Korea’s president’s signature recorded on it.
Meet the coordinator!
The Korean Honor Society is managed and run by Mrs. Kim, the Korean language teacher, in Room R215. The classroom is filled with non-Korean and Korean students, culture, and art. Mrs. Kim is currently having a hard time managing her classes due to an injury, so it would be extremely appreciated if more students could join KHS and assist her with the many responsibilities of managing an honor society.
