Charity Levy

Hempstead High School 2004 Graduate
Charity Levy was born on June 27, 1986 in Valley Stream, NY to Jared and Rachel Levy. Throughout her life she has been known as a young woman who has faced enormous challenges with determination and real grit proving her resilience.
She attended Hempstead High School and graduated in 2004. It was while she was at Hempstead High School that her mother was diagnosed with cancer. The long illness had taken its toll on the family finances and a college education seemed inconceivable. However, Charity had received numerous scholarships to help pursue her college education at Hofstra University.
Thankfully, her mother has won her battle and she and Charity’s father watched their daughter graduate on May 18, 2008 – with dual Bachelors of Business Administration degrees in International Business and Information Technology.

She also holds a minor in linguistics and speaks five languages. Her goal is to pursue a career at the United Nations. Charity continues to give back to her alma mater and Hempstead High School through various activities.
