Danielle Flores, mostly known as Dani, graduated with the class of 2019, but she has been so involved in the school that it feels like she never left.

As a student at HF, Flores was part of thespian society, all of the choirs (except for Men’s choir, although she had the range), and speech and debate.

She is currently a student at UNC, but continues to pursue her passions in big ways.

Dani continues to come back and help with all things theater, thespian or choir related. It is a regular occurrence to see Flores walking through the halls of HF even though she no longer attends HF.

This is incredibly generous considering how long her commute is to HF from Greeley.

Dani has showed up to help substitute for choir classes when Mrs. Chandler wasn’t able to teach. She has also helped direct all of the musicals and plays that have taken place since she graduated. More recently, Dani helped direct the theater camp production of Godspell and is currently helping with the fall play, Frankenstein.

Dani also helps with band from time to time. She even helped with the band at the military night football game.

We all love Dani and are so grateful for everything she does for us, so here are a few words of appreciation for the extremely talented, one and only Dani:
