JH - Saphira Rodriguez -Saph has shown HECTOR all throughout this year. She is a hard worker in class. She gets all of her work done on time and with great quality. She has a positive attitude. She always does what is expected of her. She is a great example of how HECTOR should be displayed in school.
HS - Jerome Etheridge is very respectful and is always on task. When he needs help, he is not afraid to ask questions and then he delivers on whatever the expectations are from his teachers.
Staff - Laura Garcia. I am nominating her for all her hard work and dedication to our district!!
