While greeting students at lunch duty, Associate Principal Paige Trujillo welcomes students back to Prosper High School. This moment comes from Aug 13., the first day of classes. "I love seeing everybody's new shoes, but, on a more serious note, I just love the energy in the building," Trujillo said. "Mr. Jones and I are here all summer while people are gone, so the building feels kind of sad without everybody in it. So, the best thing is when teachers come back and all that energy, and then y'all come back, and that's even more energy. I truly love this job, and I love Prosper High School. So when everybody comes back, that's the best part – coming back to school."
