The Latin American Community Center’s Hispanic Student Recognition Program (HSRP) recognizes exceptional high school Hispanic students in the State of Delaware. The program has been a signature event since 1979 and maintains strong school, community, and private sector support. The goal of the program is to open doors for Hispanic students to pursue greater opportunities, inspire pride in Latino people and heritage, motivate students to work hard, and encourage families to support them.

Due to social distancing requirements, the award ceremony will be celebrated in a virtual format. The winning student in each category will be recognized in our online ceremony and will receive a special prize and a commemorative certificate.

ELIGIBILITY

  • Hispanic high school students from any public or private school can be nominated for achievement awards.
