Sequoyah High offers international skills diploma seal

The Georgia Department of Education has authorized Sequoyah High School to issue the international skills diploma seal to eligible graduating seniors beginning this school year. The seal recognizes students who complete an "international education curriculum and engage in extracurricular activities and experiences that foster the achievement of global competencies." To earn it, students must complete at least three credits in the same world language or English for Speakers of Other Languages; at least four credits in courses with an international focus, at least four extracurricular activities and experiences with global themes or contexts such as exchange programs or travel abroad, 20 hours of community service and a capstone presentation on the knowledge gained in these courses and activities. Sequoyah joins three other Cherokee County schools in offering the seal: Cherokee HS, Etowah HS and Woodstock HS.
