For 8th Graders Choosing a World Language!

Western Tech offers French and Spanish.  If you have already had one or the other in middle school, we recommend that you stay with the same language so that you can stick with what you know.  Students should take at least two consecutive credits of the same language.  We would like to see you move up to Advanced Placement so that you can take the AP Exam - if you pass with a 4 or 5, you will earn the prestigious Maryland State Seal of Biliteracy!
