West Virginia proposes a Seal of Civic Literacy for students demonstrating exceptional civics knowledge.

The West Virginia Seal of Civic Literacy Act establishes a formal recognition for students who excel in civics. Students can earn the seal by achieving high scores on state-required assessments or AP exams in U.S. Government and History. The seal can be included on diplomas, transcripts, and used in college applications. The Department of Education will oversee the program, aiming to promote civic education and recognition among institutions and employers. The seal will not replace existing graduation requirements.
