LOTE Department

Our department, Languages other than English, currently offers Shepton students the opportunity to take Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and ASL (American Sign Language). 

Our modern language classrooms provide students with state of the art digital recording labs to help students meet goals of effectively communicating in their second language.  Students are required to complete 2 consecutive years of a second language (2 years of middle school French and Spanish count as 1 year), and 3 years are required to graduate on the Plano ISD recommended plan.  Several languages offer students the opportunity to become members of nationally affiliated honor societies, and compete in regional, state, and national competitions.  We currently have active ASL, French, Spanish, and German Clubs.
