Message from Mr. Krolikowski

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please allow me to share a few updates and information with you.
SRVHS Office Manager
By now you may have heard that our Office Manager, Mrs. Candace Molano, is changing sites and taking her talents to California High School. This move best suits her family responsibilities and we are thankful for the time she has given SRVHS. Mrs. Molano served as the welcoming face to our school as well as assisted me with appointments, phone calls, and many other responsibilities.
Her replacement is our very own Mrs. Krystin Alcaraz. Mrs. Alacaraz has served the last 3 years as the SRVHS attendance technician. Mrs. Alcaraz assumed her new role on Monday, February 4, 2019. She can be reached at
[email protected]

Do It For Lily:
Remembering Lily Meyer
On Monday, February 11th, we launch a campaign to live a life as Lily Elena Aracic Meyer lived hers. She loved, she laughed, and she was silly. She spread joy to everyone she met-she was pure goodness!
Her parents know that she was going to do a tremendous amount of good in this world. Touched by the love and support our community showed them during this devastating time, they asked us to continue to help others in need and take care of one another. They asked us to go do something good and do it for Lily!
"I implore you all, in the name of my beautiful daughter, to do some extra good in the world, to make up for her loss...And if anyone asks you why you're helping, say 'It's for Lily'"
As a school, and with our community beyond, we are asking you to share stories of good deeds and kindness, be aware of those around you in need of your love and laughter, and spread joy as much as you can, just as Lily did.
