Churchville-Chili Central School District participates in the New York State Seal of Biliteracy (NYSSB), which recognizes high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in English and one or more world languages. This year, 46 graduating seniors have earned the Seal of Biliteracy. Seals were earned in French, Spanish and Greek.
Those who earned the Seal of Biliteracy are: Bailey Adlowitz, Thomas Bekridakis, Paige Bagley, Sarah Burley, Sydney Burnett, Kylee Campanella, Carly Carpenter, Deniz Dawani, Ali DeMatteo, Elena Dembeyiotis, Madeleine Dingus, Sebastian Dix, Hannah Doles, Violet Everhart, Rudolph Fahnbulleh, Hunter Freece, Gabriella Fonseca, Adan Garcia Morataya, Michaela Goettel, Annamaria Hagen, Ellie Herbert, Erin Hibbard, Elise Hopkins, Willian Huynh, Daniel Jennings, Brynley Limbeck, Chenoa Lyon, Catherine McCarthy, Diana Morales-Negron, William Morgan, Naomi Nov, Jenjira Pellett, Isabella Pimm, Faith Robertson, Rachael Romesser, Jordan Sassone, Kathryn Schauber, Kaylen Schauf, Madeline Siriphanthong, Jordyn Stocks, Ava Underwood, Sophie Wanck-Kann, Patrick Ward, Cassidy Wilt, Oliva Winterhoff, and Graham Wohlers.
The intent of the NYSSB is to encourage the study of languages, to identify high school graduates with language and biliteracy skills for employers, to provide universities with additional information about applicants seeking admission and placement, to prepare students with twenty-first century skills, to recognize the value of language instruction and to affirm the value of diversity in a multilingual society.
Successful candidates earn three points in English and three points in each world language from a points matrix, which includes course grades, national and state exams, transcripts and culminating projects.
The NYSSB takes the form of a Seal on the student’s diploma, a certificate of achievement and a medallion worn at graduation.
