During Hispanic Heritage Month this year, Assemblywoman Suzette Valladares, R-Santa Clarita, will recognize constituents of Hispanic descent who have contributed to their community in the 38th Assembly District.
The monthlong celebration of Hispanic heritage starts Sept. 15 and runs through Oct. 15. The United States has been celebrating this time as Hispanic Heritage Month since 1968.
“We are accepting nominations for any outstanding Latino that has been contributing to our community,” said Patsy Ayala, a representative with Valladares’ office. “I want to open this nomination to the community because probably there’s an outstanding student that we don’t know is there.”
Ayala said the Assemblywoman will honor a total of 30 people, or one each day during the month, with a special recognition in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.

A beloved longtime community volunteer, Dora Zavala, of Stevenson Ranch, died Friday, July 9.
Born in Barstow on Aug. 12, 1962, Zavala moved to Orange County after graduating high school and getting married.
In 1998, Zavala moved to Stevenson Ranch, where she raised her two daughters, Nicole and Noelle.
“She was a single mom. She always wanted to give back to single moms and help women (through) empowerment,” said Nicole Zavala. “She gave a lot back to the community.”
Dora Zavala, 59, was a member of the Soroptimist of Greater Santa Clarita Valley for more than a decade, and a district director in Soroptimist International. “Dora was always a very positive person,” said fellow club member Pam Ingram. “She loved Soroptimist.”
In a partnership to expand access to recreational facilities for Santa Clarita residents, the city of Santa Clarita and the William S. Hart Union High School District are proud to announce tennis courts at four high schools are open to the public on weekdays through the end of July.
The William S. Hart Union High School District governing board voted Wednesday to retire the Hart High School Indian mascot by June 30, 2025, citing a need to move away from a race-based symbol that has been associated with the school since Jan. 10, 1946.
