Guadalupe Macias (Corral) spent 7 years in District #14 attending Adams City Middle and Adams City Senior High School.  My spouse is Erik R. Macias.  My daughter Angela Y. Macias, age 5, attended Dupont Elementary for preschool.  My nickname was Lupe. My favorite subjects were Science, Math, English, and Mariachi.  I liked Science because you learned to experiment with different things.  Math because I had a great teacher, Mr. Bradly.  English because I was given the opportunity to gather my thoughts and write them, and I wasn't very good at that.  Obviously I LOVED Mariachi because I learned a lot about music, had fun, and was able to hang out with my friends.  My least favorite subjects were History and Social Studies because back then when I was in high school I really wasn't into all the remembering dates and people.  But ask me if i like it, I love it.  My favorite teacher was Mr. Bradly and Mr. Bjorhes (I think that's how you spell it) and Ms. McGregor, and how can I forget Ms. Rivera.  I got to school mainly on the bus, but sometimes my parents would drop me off (because I was lazy to get up in the early morning and still am) LOL.  My memories of the buildings mainly focus during my lunch hour.  I remember one time my sister (Elizabeth Cerventes) and i were hanging out in the West hallway (in the old building) and I saw Mr. Brown.  I  asked him a question (he was in the teacher lounge) and said to me "let's go to my classroom". As we headed out the door, he stopped to look at something behind him.  He thought I was still holding the door, but I thought he was still behind me.  So I let go of the door and then, it SLAMS on his face.  Boy was he mad.  All we could do was laugh.  My favorite hangouts during my freshman year was at BIGGS, a little store right across the street.  It  was where the senior parking lot is now.  Then my hangouts gradually started to spread throughout the  whole school.  I used to hang out with Elizabeth Corral, my sis Oralia Olivas, Celina Castillo, Naty Baraza, Jessica Monarez, Veronica Muqoz, Mubia Delgado, Maria Garcia, Evelyn Sanchez, Jorge Saldaqa, Juan Carlos Cervantes, Erik Estrada, Maria Ceballos, Luz Ceballos, Laura Gutierrez, Delores Noe Cabajal, Etc.  I would most like to see Vero Moreno (Muqoz), Elizabeth Cervantes, Carlos Cervantes, and Jorge Saldaqa again.  My favorite things to do at school was eat lunch and hang out with friends.  My favorite thing to do after school was go home.  I was in the Mariachi Band.  I was happy on the first day of elementary school but I went to Brighton.  I was very scared  on the first day of middle school.  I was nervous on the first day of high school but happy that I finally got out of middle school.  I liked the water balloon fights during lunch hour.  I liked the Sadie Hawkins assemblies because I loved watching a teacher or principal kiss the pig.  I smile when I remember all the fun I had in high school.   I feel sad when I remember my last day of school. My proudest moment was when I graduated. You didn't know that I have a temper.  It takes a while for me to get mad, but when I get angry, you don't want to get near me.  My message to my classmates is "I miss all you!".  My message to today's students is "Only be yourself, don't try to be a part of the group that you aren't really feeling.  If you don't like some of the stuff they do, just say no. Don't give into peer pressure.  If they are really your friends, then they will respect your decisions.  HAVE FUN!".  (6-2009)

Do not give up on yourselves, and you'll be rewarded in life for your efforts."   I was in the U.S. Navy from 2002 to 2006.  I served on the USS Vincennes CG-49, Auxiliaries Division, stationed out of Yokosuka, Japan and Assault Crat Unit-1, LCM Division.  My occupations were Engineman Second Class Petty Officer (E-5) and Recovery Assist Traverse Secure (RAST) Technician.  I enjoy listening to music, dabbling in philosophy/ethics, and watching movies/DVDs.  I am still single and no apparent family as of yet.  I have traveled to Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, floated off the coast of North Korea, Hawaii, Saipan, and Tinian.  My claim to fame is playing a lizard king in the school play "Tokoloshe".  I am still too tired to consider retirement.  It was certainly a love/hate relationship with me and ACHS, but I am thankful for the opportunities it has given me, and for the truest friends that a person could ever ask for.  From the bottom of my heart, I will truly miss you ACHS.

Hobbies/Interests : Guitar, music production, working on cars, preferably Subaru's and GM L Bodies. My family : Siblings, parent's are still the same people. No update on that, however I have a son now, Brigham Frederick Kropelnicki, 12/30/08. My travels and adventures : Adventures went from road trips, to random trips to Walmart at 3 in the morning. Can't remember them, but I know they were all spontaneous. My claim to fame : Fame is overrated. I prefer to stay a home body. My retirement plans : Not retire.. I get too bored if i'm not working. But if I was incapable of working, I guess I'd practice the guitar & piano a little more. Other memories/comments : Your principal is a close lookalike for Norm Macdonald. So if you get into the hot seat with him, keep a straight face, because no matter how deceiving it is, he's not Norm Macdonald. Date : 03/05/2010

2003:
Elizabeth Cervantes (Corral) spent 8 years in District #14 attending Dupont Elementary, Adams City Middle, and Adams City High School.  I was scared and shy on the first day of school.  I was excited but sad to leave ACHS.  My favorite teachers were Mr. Quintana and Mr. Martinez.  I enjoyed history.  My best friends were Maria Sandoval and Judith Cazares.  I rode the bus until 12th grade when I drove my car to school.  I smile when I remember my friends and all the fun stuff we did.  I participated in M.E.CH.A and Mariachi Band and remember the dances.
