Message from the Superintendent
Congratulations to the following High School Seniors who have earned the Seal of Biliteracy:
Joslynn Bay (French & Mohawk)
Makenna Cameron (French)
Christine Grant (French)
Logan Guynup (Spanish)
Allison Lazore (French)
Benjamin LeBlanc (French & Spanish)
Kellon Lincoln (Spanish)
The New York State Education Department describes the Seal of Biliteracy as a distinction that:
“... recognizes high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in English and one or more world languages. The intent of the NYSSB is to encourage the study of languages, to identify high school graduates with language and biliteracy skills for employers, to provide universities with additional information about applicants seeking admission and placement, to prepare students with twenty-first century skills, to recognize the value of language instruction, and to affirm the value of diversity in a multilingual society. Successful candidates will earn three points in English and three points in each world language from a points matrix, which includes course grades, national and state exams, transcripts, and culminating projects. The NYSSB takes the form of a Seal on the student's diploma and a medallion worn at graduation.”
Again, congratulations to these students who have earned this great honor!
Respectfully,
Ron Burke, Superintendent
