Why: For being largely responsible for turning Roskruge around. During his time as principal, Roskruge has raised test scores and has earned many accolades, Flewelling wrote in his nomination letter. Olivas has done that by focusing on building caring relationships. “He leads by example,” the letter states. “Jose is humble, endlessly kind and a role model in so many ways.”
