HECTOR of the Week
JH - Bethany Kelly- She has shown a lot of initiative in school this year. She is very coachable and tolerant in class. She has worked hard to be more independent this year. We are proud of the way Bethany shows HECTOR in our school!
HS - Olivia Perez always has a smile on her face when she comes to school and is excellent in all of her activities. She has shown a level of maturity that is appropriate for a high school senior and through that maturity shows tolerance, confidence, honesty, and respect.
Spectator - this came from a community member at the Friday night volleyball game. Orion cleaned up a large spill in the student section as others watched. He even went and got extra paper towels at least once. He's a wonderful example of doing the right thing just because it’s the right thing. Keep demonstrating HECTOR Orion Martinez.
Staff - Cody Hines is the staff HECTOR of the week. He has been a huge help for new staff. He’s also done a great job providing space and proctoring for students to come do their NWEA testing.
