The eighth annual California Seal of Biliteracy Award Program premiered May 28 on the Humboldt County Office of Education website, https://hcoe.org/seal-of-biliteracy. The video can still be viewed on this website.
This event started in 2012-13 and this year recognizes and celebrates 130 graduating high school seniors from ten schools in Humboldt County.
“Humboldt County is used to setting records with the number of students receiving the seal and the number continues to rise each year,” said Humboldt County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Chris Hartley. “However, this year is significant in that each student’s achievement represents acts of determination, resiliency, innovation and collaboration for finding ways to finish this process despite our current challenges we are facing as a community.”
These students achieved a high level of proficiency in speaking, reading and writing in at least two languages, one of which is English. Students who are certified to have the seal added to their high school diplomas meet rigorous criteria in both English and at least one other language, including grades, written essays and comprehensive interviews conducted by HSU Department of World Languages and Cultures professors, high school world language teachers and community members, among other requirements.
“Congratulations to each student for this incredible achievement and my tremendous gratitude to all the schools, community partners and judges for ensuing these students had the opportunity to stay the course through the entire process of earning their Seal of Biliteracy,” said Hartley.
