Bishop Connolly’s chapters of the Sociedad Honoraria Hispánica and the Société Honoraire de Français recognize the academic achievements of BCHS students enrolled in Spanish, Portuguese and French who meet the national honor societies’ requirements.

The World Language Honor Societies also sponsor a yearly coat drive that collects and distributes coats and clothing donations to churches and soup kitchens throughout the Greater Fall River area.
