Fayette County Public Schools

Introduction

The youngest person to ever enlist in the Navy (at the age of 10!). One of only two women ever to have received a Tony, a Grammy, an Emmy and an Oscar. The first woman ever to be appointed as Surgeon General to the United States. One of the greatest women golfers of all times. What do these people have in common? They are all Hispanic Americans. Hispanic Americans have contributed to many areas of American life through science, art, entertainment, literature, sports and many other ways.
