The goal of the Belleville East German Club is to introduce interested students to the German culture and language outside the classroom setting.  Each year, we plan field trips, parties, immersion experiences, and other events, each of which centers on some particular aspect of German culture or which allows the students to try out the language skills they learn in class.  The German Club also sells various fund raising items throughout the year, both to support its own activities and those of the German Honor Society, and also to fund additional activities and trips to local sites of interest for German exchange students when they come to the US for brief or longer stays.

German Honor Society, Delta Epsilon Phi

The purpose of the German Honor Society is to recognize those students who have distinguished themselves through both academic achievement in German and active involvement in our German Club.  Students who complete at least three semesters of German, maintaining a 3.6 overall average in that subject,  who maintain a 3.0 overall GPA, and who receive positive recommendations from three teachers and an assistant principal, are qualified for induction at our annual German Honors Banquet, held in late April.  Once inducted, students maintain their membership by continuing to be enrolled in German and by keeping their GPA at a B level or better.
