I took Spanish in high school as well for 3 semesters, and I loved it. I got a lot of use and practice out of it, being in California, and found it fun that I could communicate with the illegals at work when no one else could, or cared to. Believe it or not, illegal Mexicans are very interesting people when you actually take the time to converse with them.

Sethomas, after studying Spanish in high school, I took a few semesters of Latin in college and found that previously studying a romantic language really helped in learning the base language, and vise versa. It also greatly expands the list of cognates one can draw upon that makes learning vocabulary that much easier.
I'd imagine knowing Latin would help a lot in Religious Studies too, so check it out.
