By Moises Castro, Editor-in-Chief

Principal Fernando Benavides received the AISD Secondary Principal of the Year Award April 17.

“Proud,” he said about his award. “Proud of the work and dedication of my administration, my teachers and our students. This award is honoring our collective work and accomplishments at Sam!”

Benavides was awarded this honor just days after he released a statement via Twitter that this school year is his last as SHHS principal. He accepted a position as the Mansfield ISD secondary human resource services director.

He said he’s never been more proud of the progress the campus has made as a school.

“We have six more weeks to go to get my kiddos across the stage, and I promise to finish the job as enthusiastically as I started over seven years ago!” he stated.
