San Bernardino Valley College President Dr. Gilbert J. Contreras received a warm welcome when he arrived at Cajon High School on December 11 to award the Associated Student Body with $1,000 from the SBVC Foundation.

He was greeted by an SBVC centennial sign on the door and excited ASB members, who would spend part of the day with him. Cajon earned the $1,000 prize for having the highest registered attendance at SBVC's Homecoming football game in November. Middle College High School also received $1,000 for high attendance.

Contreras visited Audrey Reisenhofer's ASB class and played SBVC trivia with students. Principal Dr. Christopher Jackson, an SBVC alumnus, thanked
Contreras and the foundation for the award, and spoke about the importance of students pursuing opportunities at the community college level and the ASB’s dedication.
