Ms. Herrera
Working at CVCHS has been an adventurous time of my life. Over the past 19 years, I have witnessed positive changes in our school's educational progress, and greater awareness with respect for students' and staff members' multicultural backgrounds, race, religion, language, and gender identities on our campus. CVCHS will always be my Ugly home.
