Congratulations to Westfield junior, Lauren Bills, on receiving the Seal of Biliteracy in English and Spanish. This honor recognizes students that have studied and attained proficiency in two or more languages through a series of written compositions, podcasts, videos and other cultural projects. The final evaluation of a candidate's language proficiency comes from a culminating panel presentation and includes a native speaker. We are very proud of Lauren's hard work towards this incredible honor. Lauren will receive her seal next year at graduation.
