Millis High School

Class of 2023 Seal of Biliteracy Opportunity

Millis Public Schools is pleased to announce that we are again partnering with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to offer the State Seal of Biliteracy.   The State Seal of Biliteracy was adopted by Massachusetts to “recognize high school graduates who attain high functional and academic levels of proficiency in English and a world language, meaning that those students can function in those languages in authentic, real-life situations.”  

Millis High School will be offering a no-cost administration of the AAPPL test in April (students who sign up for the AAPPL but do not take or complete the exam, will be charged).  The AAPPL is an online exam that measures a student’s proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in a world language.  Please note that the Seal of Biliteracy score of I-5 is a fairly high standard and only students with extensive study or experience with the language should access the testing opportunity.

Students interested in pursuing a State Seal of Biliteracy should fill out this form by March 20, 2023: Seal of Biliteracy Sign-Up
