Ceres Unified School District celebrated the 457 students who were reclassified to Fluent English Proficient or earned the California State Seal of Biliteracy at a ceremony held last week.

A list of the students’ names, by school site, is attached, along with the following photos:

Students who meet the RFEP criteria have demonstrated proficiency in listening, speaking, reading and writing English. These students are able to take additional elective courses in grades 7-12 because they no longer have to take English Language Development (ELD). Students earning the State Seal of Biliteracy have demonstrated proficiency in not one, but two languages during their high school years. Being bilingual and biliterate is an advantage for many reasons, including employability.

The following students at their respective schools last week were reclassified as Fluent English Proficient Students:
