Emily Hosman, a junior at Evanston Township High School, has been honored for her exemplary volunteer service with a state-level Certificate of Excellence from The 2012 Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program.
Hosman was nominated by ETHS Assistant Superintendent/Principal Oscar Hawthorne who works with her on the Principal’s Student Leadership Committee.
Presented annually by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards honor young people across America for outstanding community service activities.
