Four outstanding Miami Palmetto High School students were presented with a check in the amount of $1,500 on May 21, along with a lifetime membership to the Alumni Association. Members of the Class of 2015, Leemay Chen of Palmetto Bay and Stephanie Levine, Meryl Kornfield and Tiffany Chen of Pinecrest were honored by Alumni Pamela Garrison ('61), Pinecrest Mayor Cindy Lerner ('70) , and Palmetto Bay Councilwoman Karyn Cunningham ('81).
The Palmetto Senior High Alumni Association was established with the mission of giving back to the Pinecrest-based high school located on Palmetto Road and SW 118 St. Last year, a scholarship fund was initiated by the “Class of ’61,” allowing for yearly scholarships to be awarded to graduating seniors who have been active members of the Miami Palmetto Senior High School community during their high school years.
