Hispanic Heritage Month

September 15-October 15

Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15th to October 15th. Although we learn about different Hispanic people throughout the school year, this time is specifically set aside to learn about the special contributions Hispanics or Latinos have made to the United States in various areas.
