Here are some of the things that their colleagues have to say about them:
Mrs. Ocampo is caring and supportive. She is always willing to help and step in when she is needed.
Mr. Haddad is a very important member of the De Zavala family. He provides support to everyone that needs him, without hesitation, and with a positive attitude. He encourages others to do their best by building strong relationships with students and staff.
