Celebrating Educational Excellence: 2024 Seal of Biliteracy Awards

Seal of Biliteracy Pathway Award This outstanding achievement highlights student’s exceptional proficiency in two languages and their dedication to linguistic diversity and cross-cultural understanding as they pursue academic excellence. 

The Seal of Biliteracy is a nationally recognized honor bestowed upon student recipients from Paradise Valley Elementary, Park Elementary, CY Middle School, and Dean Morgan Middle School. 

As students choose to progress in their learning, many continue forward into high school biliteracy opportunities, where they have been honored with the Wyoming Seal of Biliteracy by the Wyoming Department of Education. The Wyoming Seal of Biliteracy (WY-SoBL) encourages students to pursue biliteracy, honors the skills our students attain, and can be evidence of skills that are attractive to future employers and college admissions offices.

Each of these esteemed honors serves as a testament to their commitment to mastering multiple languages and their ability to effectively communicate in diverse cultural contexts.

Congratulations, students, on your exceptional academic excellence.
