Gloria Valdez
Attendance Clerk
“Hello, Welcome to Hammond Academy, How Can I Help You?” is probably how we will meet or have met. I am the first smiling face you will see at HAST. I have been a part of HAST in some capacity from the very first year. This year will be my 9th year working in the office. I love helping and talking to our HAST families. I am also the Attendance Clerk at HAST and can help you with any attendance questions you may have. I have a bachelor’s degree from DePaul University in Chicago where I became a member of the first Latina Oriented Sorority, Gamma Phi Omega.
I am a mom of two bright young men ages 16 and 21 and a beautiful Olde English Bulldogge named Bella. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 24 years. We love to spend time together playing games and dining in Chicago. One of our favorite things to do together is to try different pizza places. We have probably been to over 50+ pizza places! In my free time, I love to craft, cook and party plan.
Degree:
Bachelor of Science in Sociology
