Five seniors from the high school were recognized for their service to the school and the Freeport community at the Holocaust Remembrance Day program at Hofstra University. Following a speech by Holocaust survivor Leo Ullman, students Santana Hernandez, Jennifer Herrera, Ismary Jimenez, Nyeem Maloney and Victoria Wright were all commended for their commitment to altruism by the Jewish Community Relations Council, and also received citations from New York State Sen. John Brook and New York State Assemblyman Brian Curran.
The students' recognition is a testament to not only their dedication and passion for assisting others, but also an example of the character education and service learning across the district.
