Ninety-four high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors will earn the Tulsa Public Schools Seal of Biliteracy after successfully demonstrating proficiency in both English and an additional language by high school graduation. In its eighth year of the program, the district will recognize the 94 students who earned seals in four languages for a total of 97 Seals awarded in Chinese, French, Latin, and Spanish. This year, one senior and one sophomore will receive the Seal in both French and Spanish, and one senior will receive the Seal in both Latin and Spanish. 

Students who successfully earn the Seal of Biliteracy not only increase in global cultural competence but also gain strong language skills that will help them be successful in college, careers, and life. Students from seven high schools participated in the program this year, which offered a number of language proficiency assessments in all these languages.

Over the past eight years, Tulsa Public Schools has awarded 777 Seals of Biliteracy - making it the district in Oklahoma with the most Seals of Biliteracy awarded. Tulsa Public Schools was the first public school district in the State of Oklahoma to offer the Seal of Biliteracy in multiple languages in 2019 and will continue to offer the Seal of Biliteracy for future graduating classes.
