Students Earn Global Seal of Biliteracy
Emily Arredondo-Galvan, Mariana Cabrera Canenguez, Michelle Jimenez, Odibel Campuzano, and Viridiana Velez, seniors at Watertown High School, have earned the prestigious Global Seal of Biliteracy. The Global Seal of Biliteracy is an international language certificate that recognizes and celebrates their level of proficiency in two or more languages. The Global Seal of Biliteracy enables programs and businesses across the world to quickly validate a student’s language skills to aide in advanced placement in a post-secondary language program, help students earn scholarships, and provide opportunities for employment. The Global Seal of Biliteracy allows employers to easily verify students’ language skills and be confident that they possess valuable soft skills linked to multilingualism.
In today’s global economy, proficiency in multiple languages has tremendous value. We are proud that Emily, Mariana, Michelle, Odibel, and Viridiana of the Watertown Unified School District are now part of this global community of multilingual individuals. We congratulate our students on this significant achievement and look forward to seeing the opportunities that their Global Seal of Biliteracy will bring them in the future.
