Congratulations to Greenfield High School

Congratulations to the AWQ Team from Greenfield High School who competed in the National Academic WorldQuest challenge in Washington, D.C. on April 27, 2026.  Representing the World Affairs Council of Monterey Bay were Fabian Serrano-Lopez, Marvin Johnson, Heriberto Hernandez-Bautista, and Rosalinda Hernandez along with their coach, Ms. Evangelina Mateo. 

The team was honored at a celebration dinner May 7 receiving certificate awards from County Supervisor Chris Lopez, State Senator John Laird and Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren.  WACMB members and guests were treated to a presentation by the students detailing their experiences of the competition, especially the personal impact and life learning opportunities from their travel.  During their trip to Washington, one of the highlights included a visit with Congresswoman Lofgren in her office where they were impressed with her warm welcome and ability to relate to them personally on local and global issues.

WACMB is honored to be represented by these student scholars.  We are proud to offer meaningful opportunities to engage the next generation in global affairs at a national level.  It is our mission to help shape the next generation of global citizens in our communities, and we are grateful for your support.
