“Having the Seal of Multiliteracy on a high school diploma will help our students stand out as they graduate from our schools,” said Superintendent Dr. Martinrex Kedziora. "Our world is changing, and the fact that our students have proven to be able to communicate with people in more than one language will truly help them advance in their career."
“I am so proud of our students for earning this prestigious award,” said Board President Jesús M. Holguín, “The need for multiliteracy has been increasing over the years, so I know our students will go very far in their careers."
