West Genesee Central School District

West Genesee High School has 45 students receiving 48 NYS Seals of Biliteracy for the seventh year in a row. This honor recognizes high school graduates who have attained a “high level of proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in one or more languages, in addition to English.”

It is proof of the hard work that the students have done to become culturally competent citizens who can communicate with others on a global level. These students demonstrated a history of high achievement in both English and World Language classes. As a culminating activity, students were also required to complete and present a project in a World Language and in some cases also in English.

Congratulations to the following students for achieving this accomplishment:

• French: Nora Kinsella, Riley Kittle, Julianna Sagneri
