Ms. Maria Flores, the high school registrar is an indispensable part of the cardinal team. Behind the scenes she works tirelessly to provide students and staff with the most accurate and relevant data and provides superb customer service to anyone she encounters. Ms. Flores is always available to provide a helping hand to her colleagues and to be a mentor to new staff members. It is not uncommon to see her wearing many hats throughout the day and for that we are grateful. Ms. Flores demonstrates pride in the Red and White in our school and in our community everyday. Thank you for all that you do day in and day out!
