Gregorio Briones

Gregorio Briones is one of the great members we have in the custodial department. In the time I have spent working by his side, I have come to really admire him. He always has a positive and hardworking attitude despite having to be at work at 2:00 am every day. He also works hard every single day. His determination really comes through when he also attends school after work to create a better future for himself. I thank you for always being a pleasure to work with.
