Exciting news from Rincon! A special moment as we celebrate the ribbon-cutting dedication with our esteemed superintendent, Dr. Ibarra, and our incoming superintendent, Mr. McGuire. Together, they were joined by our talented advanced art students who not only created the remarkable Unified Diversity mural but also dedicated all five stunning murals on campus. As you walk through our campus, you'll see these vibrant works of art that embody the spirit of creativity, highlighting the diverse voices of our community. Our campus is a beautiful canvas thanks to the hard work and vision of our art students, lead by Miss Josephson.
