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 by their school if they have received the Seal of Biliteracy award.
