GPS Presents the 2024 Community Service Awards
Greenwich Public Schools have announced that the 2024 Community Service Awards will be held on Wednesday, April 24, at 5:00 PM at Greenwich High School’s Performing Arts Center to recognize student participation in service activities that help to improve both their school and the community. The entire community is invited to attend. In addition, GHS senior Kimberly Palomino, has been named the winner of the prestigious Fleishman Service Award.
Since 1986, students are annually selected from each elementary school to accept the award on behalf of the entire school for service activities and projects that they have participated in throughout the year. Community Service Awards are presented to middle school students, representing each of GPS’ three middle schools and five high school students, representing each GHS house. An additional high school student is also selected to receive the Fleishman Service Award. Dr. Ernest Fleishman, a former Greenwich Superintendent of Schools and the Community Service Awards founder, presents this award to a GHS student who has made significant contributions to their school and community.
