After many years of teaching students at DR, Mr Ruiz has officially retired.
Mr Ruiz was with the Tracy Unified School District for 18.5 years and he is known for his devotion to the 49ers.
He has definitely worked hard these many years at DR and has a well earned rest coming.
We will miss you, Mr Ruiz, and you will never be forgotten.
Best wishes to you in this exciting new chapter!
