The Falcons will be honored at the Thirty-Third Annual ASU Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast in January. The breakfast will be held at ASU’s Tempe campus with family members, teachers, principal and superintendent all invited to attend.

Ms. Christine Marsh, 2016 Arizona Teacher of the Year and the Falcon’s English Teacher said, “Both of these young ladies were able to see people in their lives exhibiting leadership skills through their service to others. Both essays were heartfelt and touching, and I am impressed at how Madison and Lauren so poignantly wrote about how people turned tragic events into an opportunity to help others.”

Congratulations Lauren and Madison and thank you for representing Cactus Shadows High School and the Cave Creek Unified School District with this honor.
