Celebrating Bilingual Excellence! We're so proud to announce that eight of our seniors have earned the NE Gold Seal of Biliteracy this fall! This prestigious award, as teacher Ana Peterson shared, "recognizes their high-level proficiency in Spanish." Each of these exceptional students will have this achievement noted on their transcripts and will receive a medallion to wear at graduation. In addition, Ms. Peterson is taking it a step further by submitting applications for the Global Seal of Biliteracy to further honor their skills. We can’t wait to see even more students reach these milestones in spring 2025! Thank you for supporting our bilingual students and celebrating the power of multilingualism! 🎉
