GLENDALE HONORS 25 YEARS

Honoring 25 Years of Service at Glendale High School

Glendale Union High School District Governing Board members recognized a Glendale High School educator who has served the district for 25 years. His quarter-century of service reflects the relationships he has built with students, the strength he has brought to his department, and the steady presence he has been for the Cardinal community.

Hector Borboa, Spanish Teacher and World Language Department Chair

Hector Borboa has spent 25 years in the Glendale Union High School District, and today he teaches at Glendale High School, where he chairs the World Language Department. His course load includes Heritage Spanish, AP Spanish, and Spanish 3-4, putting him in every stage of the school’s Spanish program, from native and heritage speakers to students preparing for college-level exams.

Over the years, Borboa has taken on responsibilities beyond teaching. He has coached JV soccer, sponsored the Spanish Club, and served as a conflict resolution coach, helping students work through disagreements with understanding. His AP Spanish students consistently post some of the strongest exam results on campus, with passing rates at or near 100 percent. He has been recognized as Teacher of the Year and Teacher of the Month, and colleagues describe him as compassionate, professional, and dependable. For 25 years, his high expectations and ability to connect with students have helped shape the experience of the Cardinals who walk through his classroom.

A Quarter Century of Cardinal Commitment

Twenty-five years of service is a milestone built one class, one season, and one student at a time. Hector Borboa has spent that time teaching language, leading his department, and supporting students inside and outside the classroom. The GUHSD Governing Board congratulates him and thanks him for his lasting contributions to Glendale High School and the district.
