Honoring Our 2025-2026 Retirees

Celebrating more than 150 years of dedication, care, and service to our school community

This year, our school community celebrates and honors eight extraordinary staff members who are retiring after more than 30 years of dedicated service to our students, families, and school. Their commitment, care, and passion have shaped generations of learners, and their impact will be felt for years to come.

These remarkable individuals have given decades of their lives to supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally. They have been steady leaders, trusted mentors, and the heart of our campus, creating a welcoming and nurturing environment where children grow with confidence and curiosity.

We proudly recognize our 2025-2026 retirees

• Blanca Ramirez, our devoted School Secretary, who has been the welcoming face and organizational backbone of our front office
• Devorah Lopez, Christian Mais, and Lorena Arellano-Maley, three outstanding teachers whose classrooms inspired curiosity, confidence, and a love of learning
• Julie Hernandez, our dedicated Kitchen Manager who ensured our students were nourished and cared for each day
• Lorena Muro, our compassionate Speech and Language Pathologist, who helped students find their voices
• Karen Moy, our supportive Speech Assistant, who worked tirelessly alongside students and families
• Celia Rodriguez, our caring Instructional Aide, who provided daily encouragement and hands-on support in the classroom

Together, these eight individuals represent more than 150 years of combined service — a legacy of excellence that cannot be measured, only deeply appreciated.

As they begin this new chapter, we thank them for their unwavering dedication, their countless sacrifices, and the lasting difference they have made in the lives of our students and families. Our school is stronger because of them.

Congratulations on your well-earned retirement. You will always be part of our school family.
