DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (June 19, 2014) - Two Daytona State College officials were honored as “Hometown Heroes” on Thursday, June 19, during a banquet kicking off the Daytona Beach area’s annual Juneteenth celebration.

The recognition of Hometown Heroes is to educate and show by example the accomplishments of people of any stature contributing to their community’s success and growth, giving unselfishly of themselves and inspiring others.

Isalene Montgomery, vice president and chief financial officer for the college, and Costa Magoulas, dean of Daytona State’s School of Hospitality and Culinary Management, were honored for their contributions in the field of education, as well as for the lives they have touched and influenced. They were among 24 individuals identified as 2014 Hometown Heroes by local Juneteenth organizers.
