Ilsa Garza-Gonzalez, superintendent of the Fallbrook Union High School District, announced three individuals as "Fallbrook's Finest" for February at the school board meeting on Feb. 24.

Angela Goode is the payroll/benefits technician for the district. "Angie, as she is commonly known by all, treats everyone with respect and graciousness and answers questions thoroughly and patiently," the superintendent said. "She works relentlessly to ensure that employees are paid accurately and on time. Angie goes above and beyond to ensure that work is accurate."

Goode has created a number of systems to improve communication on payroll and benefits issues with staff, Garza-Gonzalez added.

"Angie's quiet demeanor allows her to address high stress situations in a calm manner," the Superintendent said. " Angela Goode is not only good, she is one of Fallbrook's Finest."

Angela Snyder is the FUHSD's LVN. Due to the mandates regarding COVID diagnostic testing for employees, contact tracing for employees and students, and the need for an isolation room, FUHSD made the decision to add a licensed vocational nurse to its health office team.

"Angela has fit right in," Garza-Gonzalez said. "Her positive, 'can do' nature and her knowledge of health and school systems are invaluable. She addresses concerns with confidentiality, empathy and tact. We appreciate all Angela does and are proud to recognize her as one of Fallbrook's Finest."

Shelley Fox was a math teacher at Fallbrook High School. She unexpectedly passed away last week, the superintendent said.

"She was nominated for Fallbrook's Finest for her unwavering belief in our students," Garza-Gonzalez said. "She was an outspoken advocate for her students and challenged them to meet her high expectations while providing a system of support for them. Her efforts were recognized by her colleagues, administrators and consultants."

"Her absence will be deeply felt by all of us as she was truly one of Fallbrook's Finest," the superintendent said.
