Spanish Club
The Spanish Club is an excellent opportunity for students to practice the language and learn about Hispanic culture in a social environment. The club meets once a month and is open to all Bellmont High School Spanish students past or present or native (heritage) Spanish speakers. Members participate in the celebration of traditions through crafts, food, music, movies, travel, and more. Volunteers from the Spanish Club are also available to tutor Spanish students who may be having difficulty in class. This is a great way for students with a passion for language to strengthen their skills while meeting other students with similar interests. Students who are taking a level 4/ AP may qualify for the Spanish National Honor Society and compete nationally for travel and academic scholarships and recognitions.
