Jennifer Warner
Local Veterans Employment Representative

I am hosting a Veteran Job club here at the Career Center for any Veteran looking for a time of collaboration, career services, professional networking, and just comradery among other Veterans.
The Veterans do not have to be unemployed, or in hardship. This is a time for them to come in, ask questions, contribute, connect, build professional skills. They can contact me to sign up or call/stop in the career Center.
I am hoping to have you and other agencies come in as these develop.

Press release

The Le Roy unit of the American Legion is sponsoring four Le Roy students to attend Boys' State. Michael Fortuna, Nathan Pangrazio, Liam Ortiz, and Jeremiah Sheehan will attend.

American Legion Boys’ State is a week-long program that immerses high school youth (currently completing their junior year) in citizenship and leadership training. They learn the practical aspects of government as it exists in New York State and come to recognize that the individual is integral to the character and success of government. They also participate in physical fitness, teamwork, and other activities under the guidance of American Legion counselors and U.S. Marines.

Boys’ State takes place at SUNY Morrisville. In 2026, it runs from Saturday, June 27 to Thursday, July 2.

This year’s boys will all be rising seniors when they attend
and interviewed to be chosen for their spots.

Fortuna participates in DECA and Mock Trial, Pangrazio is class president and an NHS officer, Ortiz is active in sports and in pursuit of multiple certifications from BOCES, and Sheehan is active
in NHS, sports, and volunteer work.
