High School Honors 13 Students with New Jersey Seal of Biliteracy and Accomplishments

The South Plainfield Board of Education held a meeting on April 9, 2025, to celebrate the achievements of high school students, particularly those who earned the New Jersey State Seal of Biliteracy. This prestigious award recognizes students proficient in at least one language besides English, and 13 students from South Plainfield High School received this honor. Among them, Tony Hall was noted as the sole recipient for proficiency in French, while the majority earned the award for Spanish.

Mr. Pascola, a representative from the high school, expressed gratitude to the world language and ESL departments for their support in helping students achieve this milestone. The certificates for the Seal of Biliteracy will be officially distributed in June, but the meeting served as an opportunity to publicly acknowledge the students' hard work.

In addition to the Seal of Biliteracy, the meeting highlighted various extracurricular activities and achievements from the high school. Mr. Stoll recognized students involved in clubs and competitions, including four choral students who were selected for the TCNJ Honors Festival. These students participated in advanced workshops and performed publicly, showcasing their talents.

The meeting underscored the importance of recognizing student accomplishments in both academic and extracurricular domains, reflecting the district's commitment to fostering a well-rounded educational experience. The Board of Education plans to continue celebrating these achievements in future meetings, reinforcing the value of student engagement in diverse activities.
