First Hudson City Student Earns Prestigious Seal of Civic Readiness

Zachary Zibella, a senior at Hudson Senior High School, has completed a Capstone project for the New York State Seal of Civic Readiness initiative. This achievement makes him the first student in the Hudson City School District to do so. The district was approved by the New York State Education Department to offer this seal from the 2022-23 academic year. The seal recognizes students who have made significant contributions to their communities.

The Seal of Civic Readiness acknowledges not just knowledge and skills, but also attitudes and practical experiences. It is a valuable recognition for students, their families, potential employers, and college admissions officers.

Students can earn the Seal of Civic Readiness by completing a Capstone project. Zibella's project involved planning and executing a concrete walkway at the American Legion Post 184. This was part of his Eagle Scout project and provided safer access to a memorial garden for veterans, demonstrating civic responsibility.

Zibella's achievement shows the positive effects of civic engagement. His dedication to improving his community has been recognized by the Hudson City School District.
