Seal of Biliteracy

Seal of Biliteracy

Attention Seniors: Are you eligible to earn your Seal of Biliteracy? Check the requirements below or on this flyer.

The State of Colorado passed Senate Bill 17-123, enabling school districts to award a diploma endorsement in biliteracy to any graduate who attains proficiency in English and other language. Earning the seal of biliteracy recognizes students for their dedication to learning multiple languages and cultures.

Value and benefits of earning the Colorado Seal of Biliteracy:

  • To encourage students to study languages

  • To honor the diversity that exists within Adams 12 Five Star Schools

  • To prepare students with the skills they need to excel and thrive in a global community
