It is an incredible honor to be able to celebrate our AVID seniors on banquet night. Four years of hardwork and perseverance has paid off and now our AVID Seniors are on their way to a college campus. The goal of the AVID is for students to apply, be admitted to multiple colleges and universities, and attend a 2 year or 4 year college campus. The students in this picture represent AVID at its finest: Martin Facio attending CSU Fullerton, Antonio Lopez Tostado attending UCI, Khang Le attending Cal Poly Pomona, Sunny Gao attending UCI, John Rincon attending USC, Aaron Le attending UCI, David Valerio attending CSU Fullerton, and Matthew Tadeo attending UC Davis. To say how proud we are of them is an understatement. Congratulations AVID seniors! We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Mr. Leonel Pacheco is an outstanding spanish teacher who is also one of our star-studded wrestling coaches! He is motivated and driven in ways most would envy. He has instilled his level-headed compassion and grit into all the students he mentors.

In Mr. Pacheco's free time he enjoys working on cars, eating some delicious authentic mexican food, and taking in sporting events. He considers the Lakers and Dodgers to be top tier! Down the road he hopes to inspire young adults at the collegiate level.
