Before an estimated audience of over 400 students, parents, and community members, Sandoval traced SLHS's success to the words of Matthew 7:24, "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock." The Governor also cited SLHS's example of educational excellence as a blueprint for what needs to take place to ensure the state's future.
