What does this valedictorian have in common with the salutatorian?

Legislator Bill Gaylor presented West Hempstead Secondary School senior Gloria Guerrier with the County Executive Community Service & Academic Excellence Award at the school’s senior awards ceremony recently.

In addition to her impressive list of accomplishments, Guerrier is the valedictorian of her graduating class and is graduating with a 105.3 grade point average. Gloria’s twin sister, Victoria, is the salutatorian of their class. In addition to excelling at academics, the twins also excel at track and will both be on Yale’s track team in the fall to study artificial intelligence. Both Gloria and Victoria were honored by the Legislature earlier this year for Black History Month.

“It was my honor to attend the West Hempstead Secondary School awards ceremony for the graduating seniors of the school,” Gaylor said. “Gloria is an amazing individual with a bright and promising future, and I am confident that she is going to change the world for the better. There is no one that I can think of that is more deserving of this award, Gloria is an inspiration and a true role-model for the community.”
