Dear Hermosa Valley, 

As we step into the 2025–2026 school year, I’m thrilled to be returning for my third year as the HVS Athletic Director here at Hermosa Beach City School District. It has truly been a joy and a privilege to support our outstanding student-athletes over the past two years, and I’m just as excited to continue building on everything we’ve started.

This year, my focus remains the same: help our athletes grow not just on the field, but as people. I’ll continue to lead with the same morals and values that have shaped our program since day one:

• Commitment to Excellence – We push our athletes to do their best, celebrate hard work, and learn through every challenge.

• Sportsmanship and Respect – We value kindness, humility, and fairness, both in competition and in everyday life.

• Integrity and Ethics – Honesty and doing what's right will always be part of our game plan.

• Collaboration and Teamwork – Success is built together, and communication and cooperation are keys to every win.

• Personal Growth – Whether they’re on the court or in the classroom, we support our students in growing confidence, leadership, and resilience.

Keeping your children safe, supported, and inspired is always my top priority. I plan to continue partnering with you to create a community where sports serve as a powerful platform for learning, growth, and fun.

Thanks again for trusting me with this role and for being part of our incredible Hermosa Valley team. Here’s to another unforgettable year #GODOLPHINS

Best regards,

Nate Vasquez
