This year, Mahomet-Seymour will be offering the STAMP test on March 5th in the library starting at 8:00 AM. The cost for the exam is $17.50 paid for by the student. If this fee creates a hardship for your family, please contact your student's World Language teacher and we will arrange a scholarship. Registration materials will be available closer to the March 5th testing date.

Commendation recipients will receive a seal on their diploma and all transcripts will reflect the honor stating the languages in which you have qualified.

All commendation recipients will receive a certificate from their foreign language teacher upon receipt of the honor.
