Huge congratulations to Paloma Alaniz-Perez , RHS's January Student of the Month!
From her positive attitude in the hallways to her hard work in the classroom, she is truly a gift to our school community. When Paloma is not busy running distance for track or practicing the piano, you can usually find her working shifts at Adolph’s Mexican Restaurant. She’s someone who loves staying productive, whether she's at work or at home diving into a puzzle or a new Lego build. Family and friends are a huge priority for her, and she’s always down to hang out with them and her two dogs, Milo and Tito. At school, she really enjoys her Art, PE, and English classes. She loves attending Rockridge High School because she gets to learn from different teachers and explore subjects that prep her for college, all while attending fun school events with her friends. After high school, Paloma would like to study agriculture in college.
