The World Languages Department across Central High School District hosted its annual poster contest, with colorful displays donning the halls of each building. From March 8-12, classes celebrated National World Languages Week.

“The festivities began with our annual poster contest, the theme of which was Live, Learn, Love Language,” explained Chairperson Rosa Kaplan.

Students and faculty had the opportunity to vote throughout the week.

“To show our building spirit, each day was dedicated to a different country or cultures with dress up days, informational posters displayed throughout the building and a beautiful decoration display throughout the buildings,” added Chairperson Renee Owenburg.
