Vital human rights program for our high school students. Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center

Greeley students deepen their understanding of human rights. 💡

Seven Horace Greeley High School sophomores recently attended the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center High School Institute at Iona University, joining peers from across the region for a day of discussion, reflection and learning.

During the program, students heard from Westchester County Legislator David T. Imamura, participated in student-led workshops and listened to Holocaust survivor Alfred Shoenfeld. His story helped students understand the real impact of intolerance and the importance of remembering the past.

Read more about the experience and how students plan to bring their learning back to their peers in News & Announcements: 🔗 Greeley.ChappaquaSchools.org
