Four employees of the Fallbrook Union High School District were recognized by Superintendent Ilsa Garza-Gonzalez at the March 13 district board meeting. They are:

Daniel Bachman is a social science teacher at Fallbrook High School. "Bachman's colleagues state that he is one of the best teachers they have worked alongside," the superintendent said. "He is professional and has great teaching skills. He teaches the senior students at FHS valuable skills that will affect them in the real world post-graduation.

"His teaching style is what mostly stands out as he gives the students freedom to fail or succeed, with no enabling. Daniel is an active participant in the DRS cycle, offers valuable feedback, and is always willing to help others. He does this with a smile."

Jose Donan is a bilingual paraprofessional at Fallbrook High School. "José is a great influence on all of his students," Garza-Gonzalez said. "He goes out of his way to help anyone and everyone from staff to students alike. He is a very uplifting role model who brightens everyone's day with jokes, laughter, and overall positivity.

"He is firm yet kind with students and supports them in attaining the high expectations that he sets for them. He is an integral part of the Spanish-speaking community at FHS and a true champion for English Language Learners."

Megan Wiblemo is a FUHSD teacher on special assignment. "A colleague of Megan Wiblemo shared that Megan has gone above and beyond to make her feel welcome as a new employee to the district," the superintendent said. "Because they share an office, she has seen her work firsthand. I am impressed daily by her work ethic. She is responsible for so much behind the scenes testing, data collection, information being sent home to student caregivers, WASC training of Ivy and Oasis staff as well as using all of this data to help drive decisions that help make FUHS thrive.

"That continual pursuit of excellence should be an example to us all. Megan has worked on special projects for FUHSD for a number of years and always meets deadlines and supports new ideas with data."

Yunnet Hernandez is a Clerk III at FUHS. "Yunnet is positive, outgoing, polite, proactive and extremely efficient. No matter what is going on in our office," Garza-Gonzalez said. "She greets everyone with a smile and is always two steps ahead of almost any situation. Yunnet is an absolute joy to work with and we are fortunate to have her as a part of our Fallbrook family.

"Yunnet recently transferred to FHS from Ivy High School where she is greatly missed. Her quiet and calm demeanor brings stability to busy offices. Yunnet is an asset to our district."

The awards were presented as February employees of the month.
