April 15, 2015, as Academic Signing
Day. High School Seniors from each
of the nine districts, along with their
principal and CAP Advisor, met at
the School Board Meeting to sign
their academic scholarship. Angela
Ortiz, a senior from School for Advanced Studies, Homestead, was
also there and represented all the
students who have overcome obstacles to graduate. Angela, despite a
cancer diagnosis in 2013, has been
determined to succeed even though
the doctors advised her to drop out
of school. Angela, who has been in
remission since January 2014, will
be attending Harvard University in
the fall with a full financial aid package.
