NEW ROCHELLE, NY — New Rochelle High School seniors received awards for academics, service, overcoming obstacles and many other achievements, all to the cheers and applause of classmates and family members in the Whitney M. Young Jr. Auditorium on Monday. The honors were given out in two sessions, the Senior Awards Assembly in the morning and the Senior Awards Ceremony in the evening.
“Seniors, congratulations for all of your honors,” English teacher Lakia Robinson said after she was chosen by the class as the honored faculty member in the morning session. “May you continue to explore and excel, continue to push the boundaries and inspire everyone around you.”
“Our students have proven to be talented, resilient and ambitious,” said Dr. Magda Parvey, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, during the evening ceremony. “Our students are service-oriented, activists and leaders in their own right.”
The awards come from each school academic department, community organizations and private scholarship funds. In addition to academics, awards were given out in a wide range of categories, such as political activism and recruiting blood donors.
