Tiger spotlight goes out to Mr. David De Leon for doing an exceptional job with setting new achievement standards year after year for the AP Spanish program and Spanish Medical Minor program. Local, state and national recognition/distinctions continue to be award-ed. His hard work ethic, determination and sincere willingness to help out our students to excel and look beyond high school is instilled into them. Mr. De Leon also makes it a point to meet with his students' parents and high school students' parents as part of his com-mitment to help all of our students. The tiger spirit is clearly evident. Thanks for always being their for our students. Keep up the great work!
