Growing up in Hempstead, Noah Burroughs was surrounded by a community that placed a premium on the transformative power of education. From an early age, his parents instilled in him the belief that education was the key to unlocking a brighter future. Alongside his parents, educators in the Hempstead Schools played a pivotal role in shaping Noah’s trajectory. He embarked on a journey of personal and academic growth, fueled by a deep-seated passion for learning and a desire to make a meaningful impact on his community. Noah’s dad was a staffer with the SCLC, and listening to stories from his dad integrating Savannah and Atlanta during the civil rights era stimulated the thought of fighting for the rights of others. Noah graduated from Hempstead High School and pursued a higher education. Noah became an educator and has served Hempstead’s children for over 20 years. In 2021, Noah successfully ran for Village Trustee. In this capacity, he worked to improve the quality of life for residents by revoking business licenses for illegal gambling machines, untaxed cigarettes and illegal prescription drugs, voting to enact legislation to increase income limits for the village’s senior citizens tax exemption, and helping create a greater police presence in senior housing properties.
