Lemoore High Foundation inducts four alums to prestigious Hall of Fame

One of the highlights of this year’s event was the addition of guest chef Rodelio Aglibot, a member of last year’s Hall of Fame and a well-respected world-wide chef. Aglibot, during last year’s induction, promised he would return to prepare this year’s meal, and he is kept his promise.
