National Italian Exam Contest 2022
Four Jericho High School students won Gold medal awards in the 2022 National Italian Exam competition. The winners are Kathryn Weinberger (Grade 12), Joshua Ochalek (Grade 12), Vivek Kirpalani (Grade 11), and Ethan Yeung (Grade 9). Each winner was awarded a monetary prize of $50 from the National Italian Exam organization. Award checks for the winners were received in mid-November.
The exam is organized by the American Association of Teachers of Italian. Exam Contest results were determined according to the national percentile distribution, and a monetary prize was determined on the basis of the national results. All students began their Italian language studies at Jericho Schools. We congratulate them on this tremendous accomplishment, and on their demonstrated outstanding proficiency in the Italian language. Ms. Suriani, teacher of Italian, coordinated the contest at Jericho High School.
