Fifteen William High School student scholars were recently honored for their academic excellence at the eighth annual Town of Brookhaven Hispanic Heritage Month celebration sponsored by the town’s Hispanic Advisory Board. The students, selected for maintaining a stellar grade point average of 95 or higher, had the opportunity to come together to be recognized, celebrate their achievements and enjoy an evening of Hispanic culture along with peers from nearby Brookhaven school districts.

The 15 student scholars recognized are Elmer Fuentes, Leslie Perez Fuentes, Christina Girardi, Alanis Gonzalez, Lourdes Gonzalez, Emily Juarez, Amber Martinez, Jack Monti, Ariella Morano, Emily Muniz, Logan Novick Pina, Fiorella Amaini Quinonez, Bryan Ortiz Rodriguez, Alex Rojas and Isabella Saladin.

The Brookhaven Town Hispanic Advisory Board was established in 2013 to help improve cultural understanding between the Hispanic community, civic and business leaders, Brookhaven government and town residents. The mission of the board is to discuss and address issues of importance and relevance to the Hispanic community and make recommendations regarding proposed legislation to the Brookhaven Town Board.
