The National Hispanic Institute, or NHI, is a unique program that allows young men from Central Catholic to compete in a courtroom setting. You do not need to be Hispanic to participate; instead, the topics of discussion and debate are related and affect the Hispanic community.
This year, Central Catholic excelled in representation and competition, earning us ‘School of the Year’ once again. Congratulations on a job well done, men! Please take a moment to congratulate these outstanding young men.
Interested in joining NHI? Would you like more information? Go to the website: https://www.nhiatsa.org/ or speak with Sra. Fabiola Méndez- Central Catholic Liaison in room 363 before or after school.
