Hello Seniors!

The application for the Seal of Biliteracy is open! The Seal of Biliteracy is an award for students who are proficient in two or more languages. Here are the requirements to earn the Seal:

-Must be a senior or a junior who is graduating early

-Must have a 2.0 average or higher in all English coursework

-Demonstrate proficiency in one or more languages other than English by completing one of the following options:

-An Advanced Placement (AP) World Language Exam with a score of 3 or higher
-An International Baccalaureate (IB) World Language Exam with a score of 4 or higher
-A district-approved language exam with a passing score

I am hoping to schedule proficiency exams for sometime in March. Students who have already passed a World Language AP exam DO NOT need to apply for the Seal and will automatically receive it.

For those wanting to take a qualifying proficiency exam, here is the link to apply:
