Huntley High School is proud to offer the Seal of Biliteracy to our students who have studied and obtained proficiency in two or more languages by high school graduation. The Seal of Biliteracy encourages students to pursue biliteracy, honors the skills our students attain, and can be evidence of skills that are attractive to future employers and college admissions offices.
To qualify for the State Seal of Biliteracy, a student must receive a qualifying English score on the ACT or SAT as well as show proficiency in a second language through an approved assessment corresponding to the ACTFL proficiency standards. This year, Huntley High School will be offering two forms of qualifying assessments for juniors and seniors:
1) Advanced Placement assessments (AP tests) for Spanish and Chinese
2) STAMP assessments for Arabic, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Polish, French, Mandarin, and Spanish
These assessments will test for students for fluency in speaking, listening, reading and writing. Students currently enrolled in AP Spanish or AP Chinese need only prepare for the AP exam in May. Those interested in taking the STAMP test for one of the other languages listed will need to complete this form by March 22. Please note this form will only accept responses from D158 students. Parents, please ensure your students complete this form if you would like them to take the STAMP test. The STAMP test costs approximately $25 and will be administered toward the end of April. More details will follow in April including the exact date and payment options.
