On March 3, 2026, USN high school French teachers Dr. Ninon Bartz and Richard Espenant welcomed several students into the French Honor Society (Société Honoraire de Français) during the annual induction ceremony.
Students were selected for this distinction in recognition of their strong academic achievement in French as well as their genuine interest in Francophone language and culture throughout their high school studies.

Congratulations to these outstanding students. We look forward to seeing them continue their study of French and serve as ambassadors of Francophone language and culture.

Back-to-school Popsicle Party cancelled
Mother Nature is not cooperating for our annual Popsicle Party. Depending on which weather app you use, actual and feels-like temperatures are 98 to 101 and higher. Under these conditions, we would limit student activities, so, in the interest of everyone's health and well-being, we are going to cancell our gathering at the River Campus. There is just not enough shade and certainly no air conditioning to bring relief to hundreds of USN families. Thank you for understanding. We look forward to seeing you in a few days for the start of our new school year.Read More
