(North
Bergen, NJ—June 4, 2015) This year, the Japanese National Honor Society (JNHS) recognizes
eleven High Tech students for their hard work and achievement in Japanese study,
announced Dr. Joseph Giammarella, Principal of High Tech High School.
The
following students have been inducted into JNHS as of May 11th:
Joseph Saylor of Bayonne; Harrison resident Anthony Chae; Cara Rosner of
Hoboken; Jersey City residents Kate Coronado, Michelle DePacina, and Alexander
Le; Alison Tu, Emmanuel Uribe, and Cindy Wong of North Bergen; Secaucus

JNHS
unites teachers and administrators in developing and maintaining high standards
of Japanese language education. It promotes
altruistic conduct through language and cultural activities. In order to qualify for JNHS, students must
maintain at least a B+ average in Japanese and a B average in their other
classes.
“I’m
proud to see my students awarded for their hard work and diligent study,” says
Akemi Dobkin, veteran teacher of Japanese Language and Culture. “The Japanese language isn’t easy for native
English speakers, but, just within two years, my students have grown to
understand more.”
