Once again we are very proud of our Italian students at Walt Whitman High School who did an amazing job representing our school at the National Italian High School Contest Exam 2022.

About 4,700 students participated and about 2,000 received medals and other awards for their outstanding performance on this year’s exam. The remarkable results of these learners in our national competition brings honor to their school, their district, and their Italian program.
