New Summerfield resident recently becomes citizen

New U.S. citizen Daniel Guerrero, center, is congratulated by his EL-Civics teachers, Coco Armas and Francisco Suarez.

Daniel Guerrero, a student with the EL-Civics program at New Summerfield ISD, completed his citizenship requirements at the Immigration and Naturalization office in Dallas in March.

Daniel works with a company that builds and repairs bridges and highway overpasses.

He is currently working through the process to bring his family to the United States as well. Coco Armas and Francisco Suarez are two teachers with the EL-Civics program at NSISD.

They worked with him during night classes to prepare for the citizenship test, which has both oral and written components. Staff with the district conduct both civics and language acquisition classes on Mondays and Thursdays from 6-9 p.m.

These classes will be held through the month of June and then begin again in the fall.
