Congratulations Mr. Montoya and Mrs. Armstrong for being selected "Staff HECTOR of the Month for August!"
For the month of August I would like to recognize Mr. Montoya. He is a great example of what it means to be HECTOR. His Respect for students allows him opportunities to build relationships, and be a trusted adult they can rely on. His smile, personality, and Optimism make the days and weeks much brighter. Mr. Montoya displays Excellence in all of his coaching and volunteering. You will always see him supporting our Trojans! In the classroom, Mr. Montoya takes the new skills he learns at PD and tries to implement them as soon as possible. He asks questions when he doesn't quite understand, and accepts feedback. His ability to be Coachable has created an environment students love to be in. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. Keep on smiling!
Mrs. Armstrong has jumped into a new position and is working hard to engage students and give them the best experience. She continues to make improvements to the systems in place and work toward excellence. Keep up the great work, Mrs. Armstrong.
