 Congratulations class of 2025!
 
The California Department of Education will award qualifying high school graduating students with the Biliteracy Seal . It is an award to recognize a student 's ability to read, write and speak one or more languages in addition to English in a high level of proficiency.  The Biliteracy Seal is placed on the diploma of the graduating student. If a student meets the requirements set by the state, they will also be awarded with a certificate from San Mateo County and a medal from the Sequoia Union High School District. There are multiple methods by which students can demonstrate proficiency in their languages, but most students meet it with:
 
  • Successful completion of 4 years of English with a GPA of 3.0 
    • Another way to fulfill this requirement is if a student passes the ELA CAASPP test at or above the “standard met” achievement level
