Twice a year, the foreign language department recognizes students who demonstrate the “triple Es” (effort, engagement and enthusiasm) within their classrooms. This fall, 32 students were awarded the Triple E award by eight different language teachers.

One of these students was sophomore Feranno Liu, who received an award presented by Chinese teacher Sara Tseng.
