The NYSSB (NYS Seal of Biliteracy) recognizes high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in English and one or more world languages. This special recognition highlights the importance of being biliterate in today’s global society. It highlights the arduous work and achievement of students and encourages them to pursue language study while in school, including the continued development of one’s home language. In helping prepare students with twenty-first century skills, its purpose is also to recognize the value of language instruction and affirm the value of diversity in a multilingual society.

These 29 successful candidates earned three points in English and three points in each world language from a matrix, which includes course grades, national and state exams, transcripts, and culminating projects. Congratulations to all our 2024 NYS Seal of Biliteracy recipients! #OwlProud
