The Harrison School District is proud to announce that HHS sophomore Richard Perez has been awarded the prestigious Global Seal of Biliteracy, an international language certificate that recognizes and celebrates his level of proficiency in two or more languages.
The Global Seal of Biliteracy validates language skills and expands future opportunities for its recipients. It offers three levels of certification: Functional Fluency, Working Fluency, and Professional Fluency, each serving a meaningful purpose in our increasingly diverse and interconnected world. Available in over 100 languages, the Global Seal of Biliteracy has been issued by employers, universities, and secondary schools in over 30 countries and five continents.
"Richard has worked hard to develop his language skills, and we are thrilled to see his efforts recognized with the Global Seal of Biliteracy in Functional Literacy," said Lisa Dixon, ESOL Coordinator. "This certification not only celebrates his accomplishments but also opens doors for him in academia and the global job market."
The Global Seal of Biliteracy allows recipients to showcase their language skills to any school or employer across state lines and international borders. In today's global economy, proficiency in multiple languages has tremendous value, and employers want candidates whose skills are verifiable and comparable.
We congratulate Richard Perez on this significant achievement!
