In a remarkable academic achievement, 37 students from Kewanee High School have earned the Seal of Biliteracy and Commendation toward Biliteracy, affirming their proficiency in both Spanish and English. This recognition, awarded by the Illinois State Board of Education, highlights their linguistic abilities and preparedness for a globalized future. Achieving these honors requires not only passing the English section of the SAT but also reaching advanced or intermediate levels on the STAMP test, guided by standards from the American Council on Teaching of Foreign Languages. This accomplishment underscores the importance of multilingual education in enhancing career and college readiness.
