Thank you for all you do. Anytime the campus needs a helping hand, Mr. Morales will be one of the first ones to step in and assist. Whether its labs, FNLs, or even Saturdays. Mr. Morales is right there ready to help his science dept. TELPAS? He’s got us. Science Rotations? Checkmark. Helping clean up a gym after an event? Yes, We SAW THAT. We appreciate you, sir.
