PfISD Celebrates First-Ever Seal of Biliteracy Ceremony

The Global Seal of Biliteracy is a nationally recognized certification that validates language proficiency and helps recipients stand out to colleges, universities and employers across the country and abroad. It is awarded to students who meet rigorous standards through testing and academic performance.

In Texas, the State Seal of Biliteracy is designated as a performance acknowledgment by the Texas Education Agency. It is awarded to students who demonstrate high levels of proficiency in both English and another language.

PfISD proudly recognizes the following students who earned the State and/or Global Seal of Biliteracy:
