🇫🇷✨ Big congratulations to Chatham High School French teacher Leslie Caulfield!

Ms. Caulfield has been selected to receive the prestigious “Chevalier de l’Ordre de Lafayette” award, presented by the Association France–États-Unis, recognizing her outstanding work in strengthening connections between France and the United States. The award ceremony will take place on June 27 in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin in the South of France. 🇺🇸🤝🇫🇷

Founded in 2012 by Thierry Chevallier, the Association France–États-Unis is dedicated to fostering cultural, educational, and professional exchanges between the two countries.

At CHS, Ms. Caulfield has long led a thriving French exchange program—most recently welcoming French students to Chatham from April 14–20—creating meaningful, real-world connections for our students.
