Carroll High School

Seniors Class of 2023

The Alabama Seal of Biliteracy is awarded by the Alabama State Department of Education in recognition of graduating students who have demonstrated an intermediate level of proficiency in English and at least one other world language, including American Sign Language.

On April 1, 2022, the State of Alabama signed into law Alabama Acct #2022-200, which recognizes graduates who have demonstrated an indicated level of proficiency in English and at least one other world language, including American Sign Language. This designation on a student's high school diploma also provides employers and universities with a method of identifying bilingual candidates, students with 21st Century skills, and those who prioritized the study of other languages and cultures. Moreover, the Alabama Seal of Biliteracy emphasizes the importance of both bilingualism, which facilitates improved communication and boosts the local economy and cultural understanding that promotes social acceptance. 

We have a credential with the Global Seal of Biliteracy.

The Global Seal of Biliteracy is an international credential that conveys proficiency with language skills in two or more languages for our qualifying candidates. The Global Seal of Biliteracy enables programs across the world to quickly validate a student's language skills to provide recognition, appropriate and or advanced placement in a language program, and even help earn scholarships and job opportunities.

The Global Seal of Biliteracy allows employers to easily verify our students' language skills and be confident that they possess valuable soft skills linked to language learners. We believe language credentials will result in pay differentials and increased employment opportunities for bilinguals. The Global Seal of Biliteracy is serial-numbered and can be added to a resume or LinkedIn under "Licenses & Certifications".

The Global Seal of Biliteracy accepts multiple qualifying tests to receive this credential. This program applies on behalf of qualifying candidates for the Global Seal of Biliteracy certification and will handle the logistics of getting each recipient their Global Seal if they have qualifying test results. The Global Seal is and will be FREE for all.
