Ten Cheney High School graduating seniors have earned the Seal of Biliteracy through either the STAMP (Standards-based Measurement of Proficiency) or AP (Advanced Placement) tests. Biliteracy requires the ability to not only speak a second language but also read and write in that language as well.
Graduates were able to wear a medal signifying their achievement at last Friday's commencement ceremonies and will have the bilateral designation placed on their transcripts. This is the first year of the program in Washington.

Not picture but receiving the seal are Linsay Sweitzer (French), Sonora Hetrick (Spanish), Eva Bautista (Spanish), Elizabeth Fix (Spanish) and Aileen Sigua (Tagalog – Philippines).
