Louisiana High School Students to Earn 'Freedom Seal' for Civics Achievement
April 9, 2025 - 17:18
In an effort to encourage greater political engagement among students, Louisiana has announced that high schoolers who score above a specified threshold on the state’s civics exam will receive a special designation known as the "Freedom Seal" on their diplomas. This initiative, set to begin next year, aims to promote civic knowledge and responsibility among young citizens.
The Freedom Seal is designed to recognize students who demonstrate a solid understanding of civic principles and the workings of government. By incentivizing students to excel in civics, the state hopes to foster a generation that is informed and active in the democratic process.
Education officials believe that this recognition will not only motivate students to take their civics education seriously but also prepare them to participate meaningfully in their communities and the political landscape. As the initiative rolls out, schools across Louisiana will be gearing up to implement the civics testing and award the Freedom Seal to deserving graduates.
