Franklin High School Students Receive Seal of Biliteracy
We are excited to announce that the Franklin Public School District will be participating in the Massachusetts State Seal of Biliteracy for the 2022-2023 School Year. This program is designed to recognize students who are proficient in English and any other language, regardless of whether they learned it at school, in the community, or at home. Our participation in the Seal of Biliteracy program reflects our commitment to encouraging language learning, certifying biliteracy skills, and recognizing the value of language diversity. To earn the Seal of Biliteracy, students must demonstrate a high level of proficiency in English by achieving a score of 472+ on the ELA MCAS or 455+ & EPP. Additionally, they must demonstrate a high level of proficiency in a world language by achieving a minimum score equivalent to Intermediate-High on a state-approved assessment or by completing an alternative assessment that demonstrates Intermediate-High proficiency in speaking, writing, reading, and listening (where applicable) for languages that do not have readily available assessments.
The following FHS students have earned the Seal of Biliteracy in their respective languages:
- Typer Apicella: French and English
- Audrey Bonacci: Latin and English
- Parham Danial: Farsi and English
- Matthew Donaldson: Latin and English
- Joshua Dunlap: French and English
- Matthew MacDonald: Latin and English
- Jasmine Ming: Latin and English
- Artemesia Saparoff: French and English
- Akhil Savant: French and English
- Hope Xayaveth: French and English
We are proud of our students who have risen to the challenge and demonstrated their language skills to the fullest. Congratulations.
