Observed annually from September 15 to October 15, Hispanic Heritage Month honors the histories, cultures, and contributions of 45.5 million American citizens who identify themselves as Hispanic or Latino—our country's largest and fastest growing ethnic minority. Hispanics are changing the composition of cities and states from coast to coast and influencing all segments of American life. At the same time, too many Hispanic students face significant challenges in our public schools.
