Each year, Westminster recognizes graduating seniors for their exceptional achievement in both English and a second language with the Multi-Linguistic Proficiency Award.
To earn this remarkable achievement, students must demonstrate a strong command of the English language by completing four upper school English courses with a GPA of 3.5 or higher and scoring at least 21 on the English section of the ACT. Additionally, students must also achieve high levels of proficiency in a second language by completing four years of study in Chinese, French, or Spanish with a GPA of 3.5 or higher and earning a score of 3 or higher on the AP Language exam or achieving an Intermediate-Mid level or above on the AAPPL or STAMP 4S assessments.
This year, Westminster is honored to present the distinguished Multi-Linguistic Proficiency Award to 16 seniors: Noah Adamson, Isabelle Clawson, Demetri Crooks, Meredith DeGroot, Ava Fichter, William Koenig, Owen Legters, Adriel Monga, Azalea Rosales, Nolan Rogers, Noah Schuster, Caden Seilback, Elise Snyder, Ella Summers, Enoch Wong, and Norah Yost.
