MCSD Seal of Biliteracy
Knowing more than one language is an asset...
In today’s competitive job market and our multicultural community at home and around the world, the ability to speak, read and write in more than one language can set you apart from the crowd. Montrose County Schools adopted the Seal of Biliteracy to honor our students who have attained high level skills in both English and another language. The Seal appears on the student’s official transcript to certify to colleges and employers that she or he has demonstrated proficiency in multiple languages.
For further information see FAQ or speak with your World Language teacher.
