In this episode of We Are Dukes, Dr. Jessica Hurt talks with Dr. Gabriel Medina, York High School’s Multilingual Division Chair, about the power of language learning and how York supports students in both world language courses and multilingual learner programs.

Together, they discuss the academic, cultural, and future-ready benefits of studying multiple languages, along with York’s AP and dual credit offerings, the Seal of Biliteracy, and the systems in place to help multilingual students and families feel connected and supported. This conversation offers a thoughtful look at how York is building opportunity, belonging, and global readiness for all students.
