For the past twenty-seven years, Orange County Community College has honored Sojourner Truth by holding an awards ceremony in her name. The program is named in honor of Sojourner Truth, who lived in the mid-Hudson Valley region after escaping from slavery. Ms. Truth is hailed as one of the most distinguished and highly-regarded women of the nineteenth century. This ceremony recognizes the achievements of deserving Orange County youth in the areas of Athletics, Citizenship, Creative Arts, Diversity, English Language Arts, Foreign Languages, Mathematics, Perseverance/Effort, Sciences and Technology.
At this year’s Sojourner Truth Awards Program, held at SUNY Orange on Friday, March 10, twenty M-W High School and twenty-eight M-W Middle School students were recognized for their accomplishments.
Congratulations to these outstanding students! #crusaderpride
