Senator Webb Honored as Distinguished Graduate of the Binghamton City School District

(BINGHAMTON, NY) On Thursday evening, the Binghamton City School District honored Senator Lea Webb as a distinguished graduate at their 29th Annual Distinguished Graduates dinner at Binghamton High School. The ceremony was held at Binghamton High School, Webb’s alma mater, and the same place where, the past January, she was sworn in to represent the 52nd district of the New York Senate, part of a historic, all-women class of Freshman Senators. 

“It is an incredible honor to be recognized by the Binghamton City School District,” said Senator Lea Webb. “My journey into public service began here in the BCSD community. I am grateful to all of the teachers and the wider BCSD community who gave me a strong foundation that has served me well on my path, from my student days at SUNY Broome and Binghamton University, to my years serving on Binghamton City Council, and now, as I carry you all with me in the halls of the New York State Capitol in Albany.”

Webb delivered remarks to the Binghamton High School Class of 2024, reminding the senior class that the knowledge they gained as BCSD students will serve them well on their future paths. “Remember that the road you travel may have bumps and challenges,” said Webb, “but the experiences you’ve gained here in Binghamton will propel you to create a more equitable present and future for yourself and those coming after you.”    

Webb was honored along with fellow distinguished BCSD graduates, Talyse Hampton (2005), Head of US Private Bank Recruiting at J.P. Morgan and Guggenheim Securities, Dr. Brian Kittredge (1998), Associate Professor, Director of Choral Activities, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Department of Music, and Brian D. Whalen (1976), Former BCSD Board of Education President.
