Société Honoraire de Français

No worries! There are three basic requirements to starting and maintaining an active SHF chapter.

These steps and requirements are laid out in detail on the "SHF at Your School" page here (which is also linked above in the tab navigation under the same name) - we recommend bookmarking this!

A Webinar was conducted with instructions on the benefits of having an honor society and how to start an SHF Charter. Click HERE to access the recording and presentation.

The Société Honoraire de Français (SHF) is the National French Honor Society for high school students. The local high school chapter provides a vehicle to focus activities around French language and Francophone literature and cultures, and to encourage participation in contest or scholarship opportunities.  In addition, students can acquire leadership skills by serving as officers, directing the initiation ceremony, or leading other chapter events.

The establishment of a charter of the Société Honoarie de Français offers the following benefits to a secondary French program.

• Recognize outstanding scholarship in the study of French
• Official SHF Seal placement on graduate diploma
• Opportunity for tri-color honor cord or SHF stole to be worn at graduation
• Official SHF regalia (drinkware, clothing, etc.) to honor accomplishments
