Rafaella Gregorio Garners Appliance World Scholarship

Rafaella Gregorio is a driven young woman. The Huntington High School Class of 2025 member is headed to Marymount Manhattan College to study English. She was recently presented with a scholarship by Appliance World.

Appliance World of Huntington decided it wanted to “give something back” to the young people of the community, so it reached out to the Huntington School District and offered to present a $500 scholarship to a graduating senior with an exemplary record of service.

Ms. Gregorio is an Advanced Placement Scholar with Honor and a member of multiple academic honor societies. She was named a Distinguished Senior last spring for her splendid academic performance over the past four years.

“My success in high school has come from a combination of hard work and a willingness to learn,” Ms. Gregorio said. “I’ve always believed in the importance of self-reflection and setting clear goals for myself. By maintaining a positive mindset and being adaptable to change, I’ve been able to overcome challenges in my academic journey. One of the most meaningful aspects of high school has been the friendships I’ve made, as it’s vital to be surrounded by a supportive group of peers.

A family owned business, Appliance World opened its doors in 1992. It is located at 414 New York Avenue in Huntington village. The company also has a store in Oyster Bay.
