KCOBA USA Inc. played its customary role of providing a cash award to one
of the top performing male students. The occasion was The Union of Jamaican
Alumni Associations USA Inc. (UJAA) 32nd Annual High School Graduate Awards
Ceremony held on Monday, June 27, 2022.
The event honors graduating high school seniors of Jamaican Heritage and it
is open to all seniors throughout the United States.
Covid19 and its lingering effects once again forced the event to be held
virtually. The graduating seniors (honorees), their teachers, families
& friends, invited guests, donors, and speakers participated via Zoom.
The ceremony was also streamed live on YouTube.
This year, twenty-six (26) students were honored, and because of the
virtual nature of the event, students from as far as Texas participated.
The association’s awardee was Mr. Isaiah Carrott, who attends Valley Stream
High School – Valley Stream, NY. Isaiah has taken AP US Government and
Politics, College Spanish, AP Calculus, AP US History and Physics. He is a
member of the High Honor Roll. Isaiah will attend Hofstra University where
he will major in Computer engineering. Congratulations and good luck,
Isaiah!
