Seal of Civic Readiness

Midlakes High School participates in the New York State Seal of Civic Readiness program to highlight the importance of civic participation by recognizing students who display a high level of proficiency in civic knowledge, civic skills, civic mindset, and civic experiences. The Seal of Civic Readiness is a distinction placed on a high school transcript and diploma that:

• Shows the student’s understanding of a commitment to participatory government; civic responsibility and civic values; 
• Demonstrates to universities, colleges, and future employers that the student has completed an action project in civics or social justice; and 
• Recognizes the value of civic engagement and scholarship.
