🏆 Introducing our first Nassau County School District Alumni Business Recognition!
Congratulations to Paul & Brenda Schwend, West Nassau High School graduates and owners of Schwend Insurance Agency Inc.

When asked what advice he has for today's students, Paul emphasized the importance of setting clear goals, writing them down, and staying focused on them. He noted that having defined goals helps students avoid distractions and peer pressure that don't align with their path. He also highlighted the value of faith and maintaining gratitude for the community they come from.
When asked what has been most valuable from his experience as a Nassau County School District graduate, Paul said it was the lifelong friendships and sense of family. He is still in contact with his friends, coaches, and teachers today.

Thank you, Paul and Brenda, for representing West Nassau High School, Nassau County School District, and our community so well.
