Preparing Students to Lead, Participate, and Make a Difference
Chelsea Career and Technical Educational High School is proud to introduce the New York State Seal of Civic Readiness, a new opportunity for students to demonstrate their commitment to civic knowledge, community engagement, and responsible participation in democracy.
This distinction recognizes students who go beyond the classroom to understand how government works, participate in their communities, and develop the skills needed to make a positive impact in society.
Students who earn the Seal will have this special recognition placed on their high school diploma and transcript.
