Meropi Kyriacou Honored as TNH Educator of the Year
NEW YORK – Meropi Kyriacou, the new Principal of The Cathedral School in Manhattan, was honored as The National Herald’s Educator of the Year.
While a great deal younger than its Greek counterpart, TNH is no less important to the Greek-American community and to Hellenes living all over the world.
In 1997, nearly 20 years after he purchased the Ethnikos Kirix, my father decided to take on the huge undertaking of a second publication – this time, in the English language.
He knew that the Ethnikos Kirix alone was not satisfying – and could not satisfy – its purpose of educating the Greek community living outside of Greece. My father understood that solely a Greek publication would be insufficient in providing information to the part of the Greek Diaspora whose first language is English – and which today comprises the majority of our community. Thus, TNH, the second bridge that connects the Hellenism of the Diaspora with the homeland, was built.
During the last 23 years, TNH has covered the news of our Community.
