Worcester Public Schools celebrated a remarkable achievement at its annual Massachusetts State Seal of Biliteracy ceremony held at Doherty Memorial High School, honoring over 300 multilingual and biliterate seniors. This year, the district awarded a historic 232 students with the Massachusetts State Seal of Biliteracy, including 40 with distinction, marking a significant increase from previous years. The awards recognize students who demonstrate high proficiency in English and at least one other world language, with the program now encompassing 24 languages.
