The 2014 World Languages Overseas Educational Excursions
Overseas Travel Programs: To be in further compliance with New York State and National Standards for World Languages concerning communication skills and intercultural understanding, Half Hollow Hills has reinstated our travel abroad program. We look forward to providing our students with an opportunity to interact with the people in France, Italy and Spain. One day we will travel to China and Taiwan as well!
