This is the first year that Minisink Valley students will be earning this distinction.
The NYSSCR acknowledges the value of civic engagement and scholarship within school communities and society as a whole, allowing them to stand out to colleges/universities and future employers.
To earn the seal, students must complete all requirements for a New York State diploma and earn a total of six points, with at least two points in civic knowledge and two in civic participation.The NYSSCR seal will be affixed to their diplomas and transcripts.
