On October 27, the La Habra City School District recognized the contributions of its Classified Staff Members celebrating milestone years of service. This recognition also included naming the Classified Employee of the Year and recognizing all the individuals nominated by their peers.
This year, we were proud to honor Daniel Rodriguez as Classified Employee of the Year. Danny is the head custodian at Sierra Vista and takes great pride in his position and in the many ways he gives back to make a difference for the students.
