National Italian Honor Society
The name of our Italian Honor Society is: The Dante Alighieri Chapter.
We chose the name after the father of the Italian Language who was a master in the arts of writing and speaking during the Renaissance period 1235-1321. He is the author of the greatest epic ever: The Divine Comedy.
Membership is by invitation only to those who meet these requirements:
