Sign this petition to tell New Britain School District to keep the Italian Language and Culture Program at the High School (NBHS)! Recently, the school district decided to eliminate Italian as one of the languages that students can choose to study at NBHS. We believe that this is the wrong decision for many reasons.

 The Italian program at NBHS is thriving with full classes including the Italian 4 Early College Experience (ECE) through the University of Connecticut - a course that provides opportunities for high school students to take college courses while still in high school. Given the interest of the students and the success of the Italian program,  we do not see any possible justification for this decision.
