The State School Board created the Oregon State Seal of Biliteracy (OSSB) to recognize and value the native language(s) students speak and bring to their English academic studies, to value language programs in schools, and to encourage students in the study of languages. This award recognizes student proficiency in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in two or more languages. A Seal of Multiliteracy (OSSM) has also been added to the program to honor student proficiency in three or more languages.
The Centennial School District is proud to offer our students the opportunity to earn the OSSB/OSSM. There are several ways CSD students can demonstrate the proficiency required to receive the biliteracy/multiliteracy seal and also earn different levels of credit for their graduation requirements, including scoring a Level 6 or higher on the STAMP (STAndards-based Measurement of Proficiency) assessment or demonstrating proficiency on another qualifying language assessment. In 2023-24, 64 Centennial High School students earned a total of 170 credits through completion of the STAMP assessment, with 20 students earning the maximum of 4 credits.
Centennial High School also offers the Spanish for Heritage Speakers program, with coursework designed specifically to develop Spanish language proficiency for heritage and native Spanish speakers. Information on this program, including course descriptions, can be found here.
Additionally, students participating in the Portland State University (PSU) Challenge Program can participate in the Portfolio option, providing the ability to demonstrate bilingual language proficiency while earning college credit for their work at Centennial High School. More details about the PSU Challenge Program can be found here.
