The December 2024 Lucerne Valley Middle High School Students of the Month were formally introduced at the December 13 meeting of the Lucerne Valley USD Board of Trustees. Middle High School student Jaxon Avila-Barajas and Lucerne Valley High School student Chayanne Mendoza were introduced by LVMHS Assistant Principal Chris Watkins.
Mr. Watkins praised Jaxon as “an excellent, excellent student.” The student-athlete “works diligently to get his work done. Besides being a key athlete on the Colt football and baseball teams, he is also an ASB member who makes a difference on and off the sports field.
Chayanne, Mr. Watkins said, “is dependable and gives 100%.” An office aide during first period, Chayanne is extremely “conscientious and kind” and performs her work with purpose.
