3.   For high school graduation, students must take 1 year of a world language or 1 year of art.  For admission into a four-year university (UC Merced, UC Davis, Sac State, Fresno State, Stanislaus, etc.) 2 years of a world language are required, but 3 years is recommended.  Students who already speak Spanish, Hmong, Punjabi, or another language can become trilingual !  You will be able to access French websites and chat with French students.  Learning French can help you get a job since most employers prefer to hire people who speak multiple languages.  Due to being near Yosemite, many French-speaking people visit our area and shop in local businesses.

4.   Every other summer, Madame Gordon-Walker takes a group on a 9 or 10-day trip to France and neighboring countries.  After you have completed at least one year of French study, you too could register for a France trip. Friends and family are encouraged to join us on this trip. Unfortunately, this trip isn’t cheap, so start saving early!  Email lgordon@muhsd.k12.ca.us for more information. lgordon@muhsd.k12.ca.us
