Recent Upper School Grad Wins French Contest

In April, recent graduate Jason Young took first place at the annual French competition held by the Alliance Francaise of Santa Clara Valley, for which he received a prize of $400. The contest, open to high school senior non-native French speakers, was held at San Jose City College and tested participants on their written and oral abilities. During the timed written portion, students wrote an essay about a novel of their choice. The oral portion had the students hold a 10-minute conversation with two of the contest’s judges.
