What is the Seal of Civic Engagement?
The Seal of Civic Engagement is a high school recognition for students who demonstrate excellence in civics through academic understanding and participation in civic activities. It is awarded by the California Department of Education and various local school districts to students who show a competent understanding of the U.S. and California Constitutions and a commitment to community involvement, often through a capstone project. This recognition is a special honor that can be noted on a student's diploma and transcript, signaling their civic knowledge and skills to colleges and employers.
