A hundred years ago, students walking through open fields to reach Sunset High School were said to resemble a herd of bison.

Crystal Vergara, Sunset Class of 2021 was part of the first PTECH graduating class. She later returned as a Spanish teacher.

“Sunset gave me my first chance at everything. Even as a student, I didn’t see myself going to college, so it gave me that first chance. Then I got my first job as a teacher here,” she said. 

With a century in the books, Lee is already looking to the future.

“We do a lot of things that are great, but why stop at great when we can be exceptional. Iwant to be able to create the next generation of graduates who make the world a better place,” he said. “I see hope, and it makes me so excited. The next 100 years are going to be amazing.”
