To be eligible for membership in the SHH, students must be actively enrolled in an upper-level Spanish class and have maintained a 90 percent grade point average in the study of Spanish for at least three semesters. Transfer students must have spent one full semester in the program at Brookwood to be eligible. Inductees must hold an overall GPA of 85 percent or higher and must demonstrate character, leadership, seriousness of purpose, cooperation, honesty, service, and commitment to others.
This year’s inductees include juniors Luke Stewart ‘28, Beau Posey ‘28, Gavin Pardo-Ellis ‘27, Garner Wells

Students will have the opportunity to use their language skills in real-life settings — especially in service to others — and to understand the value of speaking more than one language.”
