Spanish Honor Society (SHH) is a service organization at Leonardtown High School that brings students interested in improving their español and helping the Hispanic community together. SHH is a national organization that has chapters all over the world! At LHS, SHH is the Yuyi Morales Chapter! Who is Yuyi Morales? See more information about her and her contributions to Hispanic communities below! Señora Hidalgo sponsors our chapter at Leonardtown High School and helps us plan and organize our fun service events.
As an organization, SHH helps give back to the Hispanic community of Southern Maryland. We meet every other jueves during B-lunch in Señora Hidalgo's room to discuss and plan our service events. We welcome service event and meeting event ideas from all members.
Born in Veracruz, Mexico, Yuyi Morales is an accredited Mexican-American children's book author and illustrator. She was the first Latina to receive the Caldecott Medal in literature, and we are honored to be a part of her legacy. Watch the video below for more information!
