Rameezah Naz, Sewanhaka High School student, was recently selected as a winner in the
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.
Naz 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.
