Superintendent Ilsa Garza-Gonzalez recognized three individuals as Fallbrook's Finest at the Oct. 10 board meeting of the Fallbrook Union High School District. Selected were Summer Flores, Heidi Fouret and Carmen Hatcher.

Flores is a special education teacher at Fallbrook High School. "She is constantly helping students, working her hardest to learn ways to help students, and is always willing to help others," Garza-Gonzalez said. "She is an asset to the teaching department and is a trusted source for her students. Students always say how much they like Ms. Flores."

"She is kind, patient and always has the kids in mind for the activities and lessons she has planned. She is eager to learn from her co-teachers and asks for help when she needs it. Fallbrook is so lucky to have her on our team!"

Fouret is a math teacher at Fallbrook High School. "She is a champion for students. She is always willing to go above and beyond; finding desks for overcrowded math classes, attending events to show her students that she is invested in them, and being positive. Ms. Fouret transmits positive energy at all times and connects well with students."

Hatcher is executive assistant for the Fallbrook Union High School District. "Carmen is one of the many people that represent the concept of Fallbrook's Finest, but no one is a better example of what that recognition means," the superintendent said. "She is a kind, knowledgeable, pleasant, loyal, and personable employee. Moreover, she has been excellent at all aspects of her many important and valuable positions."

"Her service to the district, the staff, the students, and her colleagues is second to none. She has been the glue that holds us together, the rock that we can lean on when times are challenging, and the heart that we can all count on for support and compassion. She is one of the very best."
