Ten Freeport High School freshmen, who were selected to participate in the Northwell Community Scholars program last June, have officially kicked off their involvement in the program.
During an orientation meeting hosted at Freeport High School, the students met with several Northwell Community Scholars Program managers to learn more about the expectations, requirements and various events and learning opportunities they will have available to them as part of the program. They also participated in several activities to become better acquainted with their new mentors.
"It is very exciting to have Northwell work with our students and offer even more opportunities for learning and growth outside of the educational offerings within our school district," said Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Kishore Kuncham. "It is the goal of Freeport Public Schools to always find new ways for our students to be successful and pursue their passions and the Northwell Community Scholars Program is a great addition to the many opportunities we aim to provide on a regular basis."
The 10 program participants are: Ebrihima Ceesay, Brenda Fernandez, Kimberly Herrarte Enriquez, Chase Holt, Angelina Ibarrondo, Aaliyah Loque, Joseph Miguel Romero Garcia, Genesis Rodriguez Flores, Raschel Siguenza Peralta and Ashley Zavala Martinez.
The Northwell Community Scholars Program's goal is to help provide students with opportunities for academic advancement and career exploration.
