D.C. Everest School District and Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction

The Global Scholars Program (GSP) prepares high school students in Wisconsin to be workforce and world-ready with global competence.

Globally competent students pursue knowledge about the world, value diverse perspectives, communicate across languages and cultures, and take action to improve conditions in our interdependent world. School communities that participate in the Global Scholars Program are committed to providing learning experiences, within and beyond the curriculum, to support global learning.

Students may begin this program in 9th grade or thereafter. Qualifying Global Scholars will earn a Certificate of Global Competence and be recognized at May School Board meetings. This industry-recognized credential serves as a college, career, and community readiness indicator and recognizes students for their language, intercultural, and global competence.

All requirements must be completed by April 1 of Senior year to ensure certificate approval.
