The Latino Advisory Committee (LAC) proudly announces Annual Latino Achievement Ceremony. This is a tentative date pending approval by the Lansing School District. The annual tradition of celebrating Latino students graduating from the Lansing School District began 1972 as a way of recognizing a population that graduated less than 50% of those enrolled in 1972.
We the members of the Latino Advisory Committee asks the community to join us in congratulating the students of Eastern, Everett, Sexton and Woodcreek from the Lansing School District as they reach a milestone that 40-50 years ago, was not always the easiest to attain for that generation.
Historically, the LAC gives away up to $3,000 in scholarships to students each year at the Ceremony. More details to come. Last year the LAC awarded $5,000 in scholarships to 10 students. A printed advertisement booklet will be published, and individuals, businesses, and organizations will be able to add their advertisements. More details to come soon.
The Latino Advisory Committee was created in April of 1972 to recognize, educate and empower parents to take a proactive role in the educational and personal development of their children. We work in partnership with the Lansing School District to advocate for Latino families and their students throughout the calendar year.
The Hispanic Latino Commission of the State of Michigan (HLC) will hold their 6th Annual Graduation on Friday April 22, 2022, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM for the Annual Statewide Hispanic/Latino College Graduation Ceremony that will be hosted at the Lansing Center. Graduates from the Summer 2021, Fall 2021, Spring 2022 and Summer 2022 semesters, will be recognized.
If you wish to attend, all Parents, Community members, faculty, and staff must register to attend.
Graduates: The last day to register to secure a serape is Friday April 1, 2022, by noon.
The ceremony is to celebrate the achievements of Hispanic/Latino college and university graduates from across the state. Our goal is to recognize the efforts made by these students, while also acknowledging the support given by their families, fellow students, faculty, and administrators who helped in achieving this very important milestone.

The Hispanic Latino Commission exists to advocate for the well-being of the Hispanic/Latino population with the vision of achieving an environment of social justice and economic parity for the Hispanic/Latino population. The Hispanic/Latino Commission is composed by a 15-member Commission under the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity. The commissioners are appointed by the Governor of Michigan, for three-year terms, subject to the advice and consent of the State Senate. For the commission to communicate with Hispanic-led organizations, community leaders, and the general public, it is required to have no fewer than six meetings a year that may be scheduled in various parts of the state.
