HECTOR of the Week
JH - Ben-Ben Chambers has stepped up his game as a student. He is taking his time and re-checking his work a lot. He
has found a groove in his classes. Ben is very respectful to his teachers and follows instructions. He is maturing as a
student and a citizen. We are all very proud of the way that Ben displays HECTOR in our school."
HS - Dahlia Lane is a focused and outgoing student with a wicked sense of humor and an interesting perspective on
everything. She always has a good joke or a funny story to share and we can always count on her to get her work done on
time and to the highest standards. Dahlia IS Hector!
Staff - Our AD, Ernie Vigil, for Staff Hector of the Week. His work ethic during break was praised for how he kept
things running despite the time off for the holidays. He has done a great job scheduling games, refereeing (when needed),
doing everything else required for his position, and, most importantly, ensuring our student-athletes can enjoy the great
experiences that come with HS sports.
