Kyo Torres-Chen ’24 and Dante Lucero ’24 have been recognized with the Hispanic Heritage Foundation’s 25th Annual Youth Awards, which honor high school seniors nationwide for innovative leadership in the community and in the classroom. Kyo was selected as the gold recipient for the technology category, and Dante was chosen as the silver recipient for the entrepreneurship and business category.
More than 34,000 top Hispanic high school students from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia applied this year to the prestigious Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF) Youth Awards across nine categories. Twenty-seven high school seniors from New Mexico and Arizona were honored for their leadership in the classroom and community during a ceremony in February.
Both Kyo and Dante are invited to attend LOFT (Latinos On Fast Track) and Leadership Institute (LLI), an active institution focused on leadership, workforce, community, culture, and social justice led in partnership by the HHF and Trinity University this summer.
