Flagstaff High School celebrated its 2023 Hispanic Convocation with the largest group of students in recent memory on Wednesday, May 10. Nearly 90 students took the stage to receive their colorful sarape sashes from new United Way of Northern Arizona President and CEO Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Archuleta, FHS Principal Libby Miller; Assistant Principal Trish Eberlein, Assistant Principal Matthew Barquin and Athletic Director Jeannine Brandel.

Archuleta, who provided the keynote address, urged the students to consider themselves as leaders, envision their successful futures and remember they belong in the room and the conversation as they move ahead in their careers.

She drew upon her personal story, as a child whose parents attended FHS, as an NAU graduate, a former Coconino County Supervisor and her recent role as a member of the Harris-Biden Administration. She recently began her service as the head of the United Way of Northern Arizona.

Principal Miller and the administration also thanked in the program Susan Mendez, Ellie Rodríguez, Jeannine Brandel in the program, along with special thanks to Mike and Sarah Cromer.
