High school students who have taken Spanish III or IV are eligible to take the Seal of Biliteracy exam annually in the spring. To qualify for this award, students must receive a score of at least Intermediate Level 5 on all four parts of the exam, which assesses their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills.

In the writing section, students are required to compose three essays on three different topics, while the reading and listening sections include a series of multiple-choice questions. During the speaking portion, students must respond verbally to three prompts and record their answers using their Chromebooks. 

This prestigious distinction acknowledges students who demonstrate and possess an advanced level of academic proficiency in two or more languages, including English. This achievement sets them apart from a majority of high school graduates in the United States and positions them on the pathway to being global citizens.
