Whitefish Bay High School students who wish to obtain the Certificate of Global Competence and be recognized as a Global Scholar must fulfill four required parts:

Guide to completion:

• Student shall notify school counselor of their interest and discuss the process/steps to becoming a Global Scholar. 

• Student keeps track of parts completed (parts 2, 3, 4).  This can be done via a binder or digital portfolio. 

• For Part 2 (Cultural Literacy), the student shall review the rubric for the reflections and booklist for ideas.  The LMC can also provide additional recommendations.  

• For Part 3 (Co-curricular Activities), student can seek help from Ms. Beirold (German teacher) or Ms. Perez (Spanish teacher) for suggestions/ideas if needed.

• For Part 4 (Community Service)*, student shall present a project proposal to one of the committee members prior to initiating the project and a summary report upon completion.

• All parts completed will then be reviewed by the Global Scholars Committee.

*It might be helpful to determine the theme/issue for the community service project in order to help guide your cultural literacy review/reflections as well as possible extracurricular activities.  In other words, determine Part 4 so that you have a lens to which you can complete Parts 2 & 3.  For example, if you’re going to do a service project at a women’s shelter, your lens might be around domestic violence, housing security, family stability, etc.
