Four Bettendorf High School students earned honors for high achievement on the National French Contest / Le Grand Concours.

In the state of Iowa,

• Level 2 - Corbin O'Grady - sophomore, placed 8th.
• Level 5 - Samuel Barnes - junior, placed 8th and Cole Snyder - senior, placed 6th.
• Level 5C* - Parker King - senior, placed 6th.

*Level C indicates that the student is a native speaker of the French language and was therefore in a tougher grading category.

Numerous other students placed in the top 20 for Iowa at various levels. Congratulations to all participants!
