Rocky Point High School senior Samuel Moscoso has been honored with the New York State Seal of Biliteracy. The New York State Seal of Biliteracy 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. The intent of the Seal of Biliteracy is to encourage the study of languages, to identify high school graduates with language and biliteracy skills for employers, to provide universities with additional information about applicants seeking admission and placement, to prepare students with 21st century skills, to recognize the value of world, classical and home language instruction in schools, and to affirm the value of diversity in a multilingual society. Samuel worked diligently over the past two years to fulfill this achievement, the district’s director of humanities, Melinda Brooks, said. “We are very proud of his accomplishment and wish to congratulate him on his hard work.”
