Chandler Independent
Each cohort of Chandler Unified’s Latino students seems to enjoy presenting its own Hispanic Heritage Month showcase in the fall.
That certainly seemed to be the case Sept. 10 when a group presented music, poetry and other cultural displays at a CUSD Governing Board meeting.
Hamilton High School senior Helen Fernandez made introductions for the presentation about the month, which runs from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, saying it’s a special time to honor traditions and people with ties to Latin America, which is nearly one-third of CUSD students.
According to a CUSD staff report, the 2025 National Hispanic Heritage Month theme is “Collective Heritage: Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future.”
Dozens of students handed out flags of Latin American nations to the board, staff and the audience.
