Roseville Joint Union High School District

Seal of Biliteracy

Since 2012 the district has presented the State Seal of Biliteracy to each graduating high school student who has attained a high level of proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing in one or more languages in addition to English.  

There is no application for the Seal of Biliteracy. Seniors who have met eligibility via coursework within RJUHSD will be notified if they have received the award.

The California Department of Education has determined the criteria for the California State Seal of Biliteracy recognition. Students must show proficiency in English as well as in one or more languages, other than English, by demonstrating the following: 

1.  English Proficiency:
   • Course work OR district approved assessment (CAASPP, AP, IB, SAT)
   • ELs only: (ELPAC)
2.  Proficiency in a language other than English demonstrated via one of these four routes:
   • RJUHSD World Language Pathway OR College Course Work 
   • AP/IB Exam 
   • ACTFL Exam 
   • Another District-Approved Assessment
