BALLSTON SPA — More than 55 Ballston Spa High School students from the class of 2024 have earned the New York State Seal of Biliteracy (NYSSB). 

The NYSSB recognizes high school graduates who have attained a high level of proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in one or more languages (in addition to English). Students need to meet certain grade requirements, complete a portfolio, and present their culminating project at the Seal of Biliteracy Showcase to a panel of judges. 

“This accreditation is a testament to the hard work of the students and the teachers through six years of language study that will serve them well in college, the work force, and beyond,” said Matthew Robinson, Principal of Ballston Spa High School, in a statement.

Ballston Spa students will receive the seal of biliteracy on their diploma at graduation ceremonies on June 25 at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
