The Kentucky Civic Seal program recognizes Kentucky students at all levels (elementary, middle, and high schoolers) who demonstrate exceptional civic performance through exhibiting their understanding, application, and reflection upon: local, state, and national governance; commitment to democratic principles and promoting the common good; informed participation in civic spaces; and reflection upon their role in modern civic life. The seal may be earned at each of the three grade-band commencements.
Earning the seal extends the strong civic emphasis within the current Kentucky Academic Standards for Social Studies. Whereas the standards’ emphasis on civic application of learning provides a foundation, the seal program is an opportunity for students to go above-and-beyond in demonstrating good citizenship.
