NECSD Recognizes 52 Seal of Biliteracy Recipients!
It's National Hispanic Heritage Month! As part of our celebration, we recognize the 52 recent graduates who earned a Seal of Biliteracy upon high school graduation, 7 of these scholars are English Language Learners (ELLs), and one scholar earned a double seal! The New York State Seal of Biliteracy (NYSSB) recognizes high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in one or more languages, in addition to English.
