We are so proud to celebrate Sonoraville High School Senior, Yakecen Montalvo, who was honored by Georgia State Superintendent Richard Woods as 2025 Seal of Biliteracy Star Student for Spanish. Yakecen is pictured with Superintendent Woods and his AP Spanish Teacher, Mrs. Ale Beckman.
The Georgia Seal of Biliteracy is awarded to high school students who demonstrate proficiency in English and one other language. Yakecen chose Spanish at SHS and excelled through AP Spanish. This prestigious seal appears on both diploma and transcript, showcasing the student's linguistic excellence.

Last week, Mrs. Beckman’s Spanish IV students had the unique opportunity to learn from local community leaders—family members of our students and proud members of the Phoenix family. Guest speakers—including small business owners and a real estate agent—shared their inspiring stories, offering valuable insights.
Students not only gained knowledge about leadership and entrepreneurship but also deepened their cultural understanding by exploring how language and identity shape professional experiences in our diverse community. ¡Aprender español abre puertas!
