Morse High School has announced that seven graduating seniors have qualified to receive the Maine State Seal of Biliteracy, an award that recognizes student achievement in language learning. To qualify, students had to score well on their SATs to prove proficiency in English and take a 4.5-hour test from the American Council of Teachers of Foreign Languages to prove proficiency in their second language.
“All of the students who took the test did very well, and we’re so proud of them,” French teacher Becky Deschaine said in a news release. “They all faced challenges because of COVID-19, but they stuck with it, practiced, and persevered.”

BATH The first day of school on a Thursday in February amid a pandemic is unusual at best, but at the new Morse High School in Bath, it was cause for celebration.
Half of the study body streamed through the front doors on Wing Farm Parkway, gathering in the sunlit atrium to get their class schedules and directions to their homerooms. Students wandered past empty display cases and bare walls, still smelling faintly of wet paint, eager to settle into their new home.
