West Haven Planning and Zoning Commissioner Steven R. Mullins presented his annual “Commissioner Mullins Youth Leadership Award” to two outstanding, civic minded West Haven High School students last week.
Freshmen Brian Carew and Grace Nowak were recommended by Principal Dana Paredes in recognition of their involvement with school and civic activities.
Every year, Mullins, a 1993 graduate of West Haven High School, presents the award to a freshman male and freshman female student to encourage them to continue to serve in leadership roles at the school and the wider West Haven community throughout their tenure at the school.
Previous recipients of the award have gone on to serve as student representatives on the Board of Education and have been accepted to and attend Ivy League schools.
