Congratulations to Garden City High School senior, Donald Casler, for qualifying as a Scholar in the 2009-2010 National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP). Pictured here with Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert Feirsen and high school principal Nanine Cuttitta, Donald qualified along with Thomas Elustondo and Michelle Velez. Fewer than 5,000 students nationally were chosen from the 200,000 who entered the program.

Students who are honored as Scholars by the NHRP must be at least one-quarter Hispanic, have achieved a minimum PSAT/NMSQT/PAA score for their region, as well as earned a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
