Schreiber High School Graduates Awards Ceremony included Pride in Port awards and a scholarship. Recipients are chosen based on their high level of “Pride in Port.”
The Barbara Faticone Pride in Port Scholarship is given to a senior who best shows the same volunteer qualities as the Pride in Port committee’s beloved co-chair, Barbara Faticone. A lifelong resident of Port Washington, Barbara’s community involvement spans 50 years with dozens of organizations.
Based on her dedication to our community, Amy Baxter was chosen as the recipient of the 2019 scholarship. “It is impressive and heartwarming to learn how many things the students volunteer for while still in school,” Barbara Faticone said. “Amy truly exemplifies what Pride in Port is all about. We are very proud to honor her!”
Pride in Port Community Service Awards are given to seniors who make significant contributions to Pride in Port, such as the pep rally, parade, etc. The 2022 Community Service Award recipients are Sarah Braunschweiger, Rebecca Gaidis, Carlene Geida, Matthew Hellerman, Kelly Interiano, and Olivia Johnson. The Pride in Port committee extends thanks and appreciation to these students for their exceptional dedication to the community.

The day’s events begin with a parade at 11:30, a senior citizen luncheon at 12:30, a homecoming football game at 2:00 and the “Taste of Port Washington” dinner dance at 7.
