JH/HS Announcements 2/26:
HS BB Athletes of the Week:
Roree Willbanks stepped up during both district games. She came off the bench and used her speed to make an impact. She out rebounded both Fowler and CC. She also hit a couple of key buckets to keep the score moving. Congrats, Roree
Varsity - Kree Wallace. Kree has made an impact at the varsity level all year and Monday at the Pigtail game was no exception. He is always aggressive on defense and willing to guard any man assigned to him. He is a quick defensive presence and has shown a lot of growth at the offensive end this year.
HECTOR of the Week
HS - JessLyn Hogue: Despite not being our TA this semester, she still checks in our group to see if we need anything. Jesslyn is working hard to finish the semester optimistically and excellently in all of her courses. We can always count on an honest smile and greeting every morning.
Staff - Mr Legario - Mr Legario goes above and beyond in the classroom to make sure each and every student understands the lesson before moving on. He shares his knowledge and pride for his country to all those around. He wears his heart on his sleeve and his smile is contagious
JH - Melany Lebron-Perez-Melany is very friendly and fun to be around. She is very respectful to her teachers and peers. She is very polite and a hard worker in class. She is an excellent example of HECTOR in our school.
