Several students in the Spanish program took the APPLL exam to attempt to get the Seal of Biliteracy. The seal demonstrates that one has an Intermediate High - Advanced Low level in a language and awards a substantial amount of college credits. These 8 students achieved this outstanding achievement, and 98% of those who took the test received commendation which states they passed in one or more of the 4 proficiency categories (reading, writing, speaking, listening). Our seniors aimed to achieve this goal this past Wednesday as well by taking the AP Spanish and Language exam! We are so proud of our hard-working students! Congrats Redbirds!
Congratulations to Ashton Davis, who will continue her athletic and academic career by playing lacrosse at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, IA.
