We are proud of our 2024-2025 Certificated Employee of the Year, Monic Dugan!

Ms. Dugan is a true and inspirational leader among her peers and she is committed to supporting all aspects of the school community. She has been Central’s representative on the Superintendent’s Teacher Advisory Council, a science course lead, and a member of the Certificated Interest Based Bargaining Team. Ms. Dugan demonstrates what it means to be a leader as she is an active participant at staff, department, and collaboration meetings.

Mr. Sergeant says of Ms. Dugan, “Monic is a constant champion for her students. She expects them to perform at their best. She gives and gives and gives to them to ensure that they are ready and able to learn. She stands up for them and does all she can to make sure that they get the same opportunities as any other students on campus. In short, Monic is the best, she is the alpha sigma as our students would say, and she deserves this recognition.”

We are proud of our 2024-2025 Classified Employee of the Year, Roxanne Flores!

Mrs. Flores is an Attendance Assistant II serving Central’s diverse population of 625 students. As our dedicated Attendance Assistant, Roxanne has made a tremendous impact on the school’s overall attendance rate, helping us achieve notable awards for most improved attendance and outstanding attendance. Her commitment to fostering a supportive and proactive attendance culture has been invaluable to our community.

Through her role, Mrs. Flores has demonstrated exceptional skill in developing relationships with families. She approaches each interaction with compassion and understanding, taking the time to listen to families’ unique challenges. Her empathy and resourcefulness are apparent as she provides guidance, connects families with resources, and offers practical assistance to those struggling with getting their children to school consistently. Her dedication has not only contributed to a marked increase in daily attendance but has also strengthened the trust and collaboration between our school and its families.

Congratulations to Mrs. Roxanne Flores!
