Board of Commissioners Proclaims Hispanic Heritage Month
The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners proclaimed Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 as Hispanic Heritage Month at a Sept. 7 meeting.
Fourteen percent of the 54,300 students in Forsyth County Schools are of Hispanic heritage and are an important part of the school district family and the Forsyth County community.
The theme for this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month is “Prosperity, Power, and Progress,” recognizing the significant achievements of the Hispanic community in the economic and political industries.
The Board urges Forsyth County residents to celebrate the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America during this time.
