Described by his colleagues as a great friend and colleague, Mr. Asuque truly represents the heart of our campus. As our Math Department Chair, he consistently goes above and beyond—whether it’s arriving early, supporting students and staff during passing periods, or showing up for after-school activities.
He's always reliable and willing to step in wherever he is needed. His dedication, leadership, and commitment to student success make a lasting impact on our school community every single day.
