Congratulations to 181 scholars from all our high schools in the 2023 graduating class who received the Seal of Biliteracy! This sets a Federal Way Public Schools record for the most scholars to receive the Seal of Biliteracy within our district.

The Seal of Biliteracy recognizes high school graduates who have demonstrated high levels of proficiency (reading, writing, and speaking) in one or more languages in addition to high levels of proficiency in English. The Seal of Biliteracy is important because it exemplifies the dedicated work and valuable skills they will bring into their career and college experiences.

Congratulations to our Employment and Transition Program scholars on their completion of the second installment of a four-year video series for the Ability Awareness project!

The Ability Awareness project is a partnership between KBTC and the Federal Way Public Schools Employment Transition Program. The goal of the project is to provide neurodivergent youth and those with disabilities the opportunity to share their voices through the creation of short-form videos that address life skills needed by all young people as they transition to the world of employment and independent living.
