What is the Seal of Biliteracy?
From the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education:
The State Seal of Biliteracy is an award provided by state approved districts that recognizes high school graduates who attain high functional and academic levels of proficiency in English and a world language in recognition of having studied and attained proficiency in two or more languages by high school graduation.
Our vision is to help students recognize the value of their academic success and see the tangible benefits of being bilingual.
The State Seal of Biliteracy takes the form of a seal that appears on the transcript or diploma of the graduating senior and is a statement of accomplishment for future employers and for college admissions.

Since then, we have worked to grow the program and educate more students on the benefits of achieving high-level proficiency in two or more languages.
