Fred Baldwin: I may be a bit Partial to the School, I am a previous student of Romero. I just turned 39 and I can still remember my teachers I had there for 3rd it was Mrs Wilson, 4th Mrs Ely and 5th was Mr Drake who was also the principal. To this day I feel very fortunate to have gone to school at Romero. The smaller class sizes have always benefited students, being able to have more quality one on one with the teachers really helped with the learning process.
