The induction was marked by a ceremony attended by Long Beach administrators, faculty, students and their families, with students taking the language honor society pledge in Italian, Spanish, French and English. There was a special performance by the Long Beach High School Chamber Orchestra and a candle lighting ceremony, which officials said symbolized scholarship, service and cultural appreciation. <\/p>\n
\u201cTonight was a celebration of our students\u2019 dedication, perseverance, and passion for language learning. Each inductee has demonstrated not only academic excellence, but also a genuine appreciation for diverse cultures and perspectives,\u201d society advisor Nelly Jimenez said. \u201cIt is incredibly rewarding to see them reach this milestone, and I am confident they will continue to use their skills to connect with and positively impact the world around them.\u201d<\/p>\n
