In total, 16 students won medals in the online test of Spanish skills: four gold, 10 silver and two bronze. Another 20 students won honorable mentions.
The National Spanish Examinations are “online, standardized assessment tools for Grades 6 -12, given voluntarily by over 3,800 teachers throughout the United States to measure proficiency and achievement of students who are studying Spanish as a second language,” according to the examinations’ Web site.

According to the site, the purpose of the National Spanish Examination is
- to recognize achievement in the study of the Spanish language

- to assess the national standards as they pertain to learning Spanish
- to stimulate further interest in the teaching and learning of Spanish.
