My work at Greely High School began in 1987. I am a member of the Foreign Language Association of Maine and the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese. In addition, both levels I and II of French and of Spanish are offered in a two year sequence, as scheduling permits. Students may be admitted to these courses through teacher recommendation. Students who have successfully completed the junior high French or Spanish programs have met the requirements of the level I classes in these languages and are ready to enter level II classes.
Many students also take an additional language.
More specific information can be found in the Greely High School Course Catalog. Beginning with the class of 2003, all students must demonstrate proficiency in a language other than their own. The oral proficiency test to demonstrate speaking proficiency in French or Spanish is currently being developed. These tests may be administered following the level II courses, and again as needed until students meet the requirement. The selection process begins after first semester grades come out.
