At the October 24 Board of Education meeting, Hicksville Superintendent of Schools Dr. Ted Fulton began his report by acknowledging eleven high school seniors Dasia Stafford, Jack Beaudette, Siddh Agarwal, Samantha Castro, Andrew Fontanetta, Federico Garcia, Brian Jaco, Anthony Lopez, Victoria Rodriguez, Danna Taboafda and Cory Wright.
Dasia Stafford was recognized for being honored by the College Board as a scholar for the National African American Recognition Program. She earned this recognition based on her remarkable academic achievements and outstanding performance on the PSAT and the Advanced Placement exams.
Jack Beaudette and Siddh Agarwal were recognized for each being named a National Merit Semifinalist in the 69th Annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Being recognized as a National Merit Semifinalist means they will have a chance to win a National Merit Scholarship, which will be offered next spring. A Semifinalist represents the top 1% of United States high school seniors and highest-scoring entrants from each state.
Samantha Castro, Andrew Fontanetta, Federico Garcia, Brian Jaco, Anthony Lopez, Victoria Rodriguez, Danna Taboafda and Cory Wright were recognized for being selected for the College Board’s National Hispanic Recognition Program. Like the National Merit Scholarship program, this recognition is for Hispanic/Latino students acknowledging their academic achievements and outstanding performance on the PSAT and the Advanced Placement exams.
Following student recognitions, Dr. Fulton acknowledged members of the Board of Education for their continued dedication and commitment to the district and community in honor of Board of Education Recognition Week.
Student representatives Asha Chattoo, Theo Fotopoulos, Farangi Mukhamedova, Ahmed Saleem, Quinn Valme and Hadiya Zehra from each of the district’s seven elementary schools presented each member of the board with a certificate and gift of appreciation.
Wrapping up the evening acknowledgements to the board seventh graders Wasiqa Ali and Eli Feinstein and senior Jack Beaudette and junior Manveer Sahansra each expressed heartfelt appreciation and sincere thanks for the work they do on behalf of the students of Hicksville public schools.
