Since enrolling at Norco College in 2013, Perez has made the Dean’s list every semester

The mission of the ATHENA of the Inland Valley is to open doors of leadership opportunity

demonstrate leadership qualities, be knowledgeable about their chosen field of study,
be able to demonstrate knowledge through academic achievement and have given back
to their community through public service.
