Bay Ridge student is Presidential Scholar
Amrit Hingorani traveled to Washington D.C. to receive honor
Talk about a great graduation present! Amrit Hingorani, a Bay Ridge resident who recently graduated from Stuyvesant High School, made a trip to Washington, D.C., but he wasn’t there just to see the Lincoln Memorial.
Hingorani had the honor of being named a U.S. Presidential Scholar, a coveted title that earned him a medallion, a meeting with U.S. Secretary of Education John King and tons of respect from his peers.
“It’s really an honor to be recognized,” he told the Brooklyn Eagle when he got back to Brooklyn from his whirlwind trip to the nation’s capital, which took place June 19-21.
Hingorani is one of 160 young people from around the country who demonstrated outstanding academic achievements, artistic excellence, leadership skills, citizenship, service and contributions to their schools and communities.
