Chris Valdivia

On Saturday morning, our colleague, teacher, administrator, and most importantly our good friend gained his wings. Chris was a great friend to everyone on our Highland Academy campus and supported his staff with the willingness to help anyone in need. He made connections with all students on campus by: sharing his candy in his office, playing basketball with students, joking with students, sharing his love for the Raiders, Lakers and the Braves in any way possible and making everyone feel like they were special to him. Chris always made people laugh and he will be sorely missed.

Chris leaves behind his wife and daughter whom love him very much. The love he had for "his girls" was so special. He made them laugh, feel special and told them he loved them everyday. He was such a great husband and father and all that knew him would agree.

In times like these we all ask in what way can we help support his family. One way we can is by helping alleviate the unexpected funeral costs. If Chris (Mr. V) made any impact on your life, please donate to help his family with any financial burden of his departure.
