This is not the first time that G.R. Hampton has been recognized for last year’s achievements.  SESC, former Commissioner of Education, and others have extended their congratulations to the school.

I’m truly humbled to lead such an awesome group of people,” said Frederick.” This accomplishment could not have been possible without the commitment of all; parents, teachers, students, and classified staff.  At the end of the day, this proves that where you live doesn’t determine your fate.”
