Sewanhaka High School student Rameezah Naz was recently selected as a winner in Junior Achievement’s High School Heroes essay competition.
This past spring, Future Business Leaders of America students volunteered their time through the High School Heroes program to educate local elementary students on community service, financial literacy and what it means to be a good citizen. At the conclusion of the program, the students were invited to write an essay summarizing their experience.
Rameezah was awarded third place for her essay. She will be featured on the JA New York website and other JA High School Heroes-related publications. Additionally, she received a $100 scholarship award from JA.
