This week, we proudly celebrate Yeseina Ramirez, a dynamic educator at Hermosa Heights Elementary, who is inspiring future innovators every single day! Now in her fourth year at Hermosa Heights, Yeseina serves as a K-8 STEAM teacher and also leads the Student Broadcast Team, helping students shine both in the classroom and on camera. Known for her willingness to jump in and support school events and activities, Yeseina truly embodies the spirit of teamwork and dedication. In her own words:
"I enjoy contributing to my community, and what better way than to guide future leaders to success! I chose to be a teacher because I wanted to help make an impact on our youth. I love teaching because I can work with students to help them reach their goals, give them a support system, show them that they are loved, and that it’s okay to be who they are — all while having fun."
Thank you, Ms. Ramirez, for pouring your heart and passion into every lesson and for making Hermosa Heights a place where all learners thrive! Your commitment to your students and school community is truly inspiring!

Congratulations to Michelle Ronga, LCPS Executive Director of Athletics, on being named the NMAA Southwest Athletic Director of the Year. Michelle was recognized during this week’s Board of Education regular session for her outstanding leadership and contributions to our district.
“In the world of sports, it’s rare for a rookie to come off the bench and immediately play like an MVP. But in her very first year as Executive Director of Athletics, Michelle Ronga did just that, quickly rising to the top of her game. With a heart for students, a playbook full of innovative ideas, and a vision that treats athletics as an extension of the classroom, Michelle earned the respect of her peers and was honored this summer with the Southwest Region Athletic Director of the Year award. Congratulations, Michelle, you’ve proven that even rookies can lead the league!”
