JH/HS Staff HECTOR of the Week:
Susan Waring- The start of the school year is always crazy, but Ms. Waring makes it so much simpler. She is always willing to help out. She is a poster queen at the beginning of the year and works hard to keep the district calendar up to date. We would be lost without her.
