One student was elected governor for the 2025-26 New York State Youth and Government Program, another was selected for the prestigious Conference on National Affairs in North Carolina and two were recognized as outstanding delegates out of more than 800 participants.

The atmosphere was electric with upbeat music from the DJ, bursts of laughter and a sea of pink balloons and décor setting the tone. Raffle prizes added to the excitement, while smiles, hugs and cheers echoed the event’s spirit of unity.

Guided by her Geometry teacher, Mrs. Tara Luce, Suraksha presented an original research paper titled “Astronomy and Mathematics,” which explored the powerful and historic connection between mathematical theories and astronomical discoveries.

The annual competitions provide multilingual students with an opportunity to celebrate their cultural heritage while showcasing their linguistic and artistic talents. Beyond recognition, the contests support personal and academic growth, helping students develop confidence and cultural awareness.

Students were able to visit up to 29 countries which had been set up at stations throughout the campus.

The annual award is issued to individuals in the Fourth Senatorial District for their service to their community and their contributions to the African American community at large.
