West Hempstead Grads Return for Science Major Alumni Day

From West Hempstead Union Free School District: The West Hempstead High School Science Department hosted Science Major Alumni Day on Nov. 22, an annual event where current high school students engage with alumni of the district who have pursued or are currently pursuing careers in the sciences.

West Hempstead High School senior Gabriela Urena moderated the panel, asking alumni spanning the Classes of 2010 through 2017 about their majors, job opportunities and high school courses that helped prepare them for college.

The discussion was followed by a question-and-answer session that gave the high school students further opportunity to interact with the alumni.
