Hawk of the Week

Stellar Staff Member

Our Custodial Dream Team

Jose & Gilberto
Jesse

Jose, Gilberto, & Jesse

In honor of National Custodian Appreciation Day, we are thrilled to shine our Hawk of the Week spotlight on our extraordinary custodial trio: Jose, our morning custodian; Gilberto, our evening custodian; and Jesse, our district custodian who regularly subs and steps in to support Gavilan View! Day in and day out, this dedicated team works with relentless energy to ensure our campus is clean, safe, and ready for vibrant learning. From early morning preparations before the first bell rings to the late-night upkeep that restores our classrooms for the next day, they are the unsung heroes who keep our entire school moving forward.

Maintaining a campus as active as ours is no small feat, yet Jose, Gilberto, and Jesse handle every task with remarkable pride, efficiency, and care. Whether they are managing event setups, keeping our grounds beautiful, or swiftly addressing daily needs across campus, their hard work creates the bright, healthy environment our students and staff enjoy every single day. Their efforts behind the scenes directly impact the well-being of every single Hawk who walks through our doors.

Beyond keeping our facilities spotless, Jose, Gilberto, and Jesse are valued, friendly faces in our school community. Their warm greetings, helpful attitudes, and unwavering commitment to Gavilan View make our campus feel like a true second home. Thank you, Jose, Gilberto, and Jesse, for your tireless dedication, your teamwork, and everything you do to make our school shine!
