A big honor

Norwalk Mayor and longtime Santa Fe Springs city leader Mike Mendez says he got the honor of a lifetime Friday when the Santa Fe High School gym was officially named after him.

 

Mendez, 61, graduated from Santa Fe in 1965 and has spent countless hours as a volunteer supporting that school and other campuses in the Whittier Union High School District, officials said.

 

The gesture was emotionally overwhelming for Mendez, whose voice was full of emotion in accepting the honor. It came during a homecoming pep rally at the school.
