2012 National Spanish Exam Results

On March 6th and 7th students of Spanish and Spanish Honors and AP classes took the National Spanish Exam and, as always, did an outstanding job.  Our students competed at the local level against Memorial H.S., Awty International, Bellaire H.S., St. Thomas H.S., St. Agnes H.S. and many others.  Students ranking in the 95^th percentile nationally or higher received a gold medal.  The percentile refers to the national ranking, and the place refers to the local (Houston and surrounding schools) placing.  Kinkaid received a total of 66 Gold Medals and 29 Silver Medals.  Congratulations to these students and their teachers!
