The first Laredo ISD Kazen Fellowship Program cohort, composed in part of 10 LISD high school students, graduated from a six-week paid summer internship at the George P. Kazen Federal Building and United States Courthouse last week. The first of its kind in Laredo, under the direction of U.S. District Judge Diana Saldaña, the program was launched to give students an opportunity for mentorship by community partners.
Featured keynote speakers were Judge Saldaña, Cigarroa High School Student Lercy Aguilar, Nixon High School and Vidal M. Treviño School of Communications and Fine Arts Student Reymundo Chaires, LISD Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Gerardo Cruz, United ISD Student Odete Coss, United ISD Superintendent David Gonzalez, and Catholic Schools Superintendent Dr. Guadalupe Perez.
The students received Superlative Awards delivered by Department Coordinators Ryan Moncivais and Natalia Boyd-Garcia. Additionally, they were awarded Certificates of Completion. The ceremony ended with a video montage of a series of events commemorating their time at the courthouse.
