Hello WCCUSD community,

Happy Cinco de Mayo! I want to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the many students and staff members in our school district who observe this important day. It is always a joy to join our school community in the annual parade. Unfortunately, the parade was postponed due to the weather. However, we look forward to participating in the celebration in September. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, and has become a symbol of Mexican heritage and pride.

As we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, let’s also take this opportunity to deepen our understanding of its history and significance. By learning more about this day, we can better appreciate the cultures and traditions it represents. Let’s celebrate in a way that respects and includes everyone, fostering a sense of belonging and unity in our school community.

As we continue to celebrate our community’s diversity, we have several exciting events and recognitions lined up this month. I encourage you to stay updated by following our newsletters, social media platforms, and Board Meetings. Together, let’s highlight and celebrate the rich diversity that makes WCCUSD a vibrant and inclusive community.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in creating a safe and welcoming environment for all students and staff members.

Sincerely,

Kenneth C. Hurst, Sr., Ed.D 
Superintendent

Richmond High School senior Sara Hermosillo Canedo has been honored with the prestigious Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship for her exceptional dedication, hard work, and commitment to her studies and extracurricular activities. The scholarship, part of an initiative to provide STEM education to underrepresented and underserved communities, recognizes students who have demonstrated exceptional computer science and coding skills. 

Sara was nominated by one of her teachers, Ms. Marilyn Ahuna, and was one of only 63 students in the state and 400 nationwide to receive the award this year. In addition to the scholarship, Sara has also been offered a paid internship at Amazon after her first year of college. 

To celebrate her achievement, Sara was joined by her mother and several members of the Richmond High School staff, including Mr. Luciano Del Rio, who served as her Robotics mentor; Ms. Krista Jann, the school counselor; and Mr. Jose De Leon, the Secondary Executive Director and former principal of RHS.
