As a high school valedictorian, he was the recipient of numerous scholarships including an offer for appointment to Annapolis.
Dr. Reveles is an avid outdoorsman and an accomplished mountaineer. He has collaborated in the implementation of adventure ropes courses in the United States and the Republic of Palau (Micronesia).

TESTIMONIALS
Francisco is magical with our Latino/Migrant parents, students and staff alike. He captures their attention, motivates and influences them to take their thoughts to a deeper and more meaningful level. His background and ability to relate to Latino and Migrant families is amazing. Indeed, It doesn’t matter where you come from, he is able to connect with everybody. Do not miss an opportunity to hear him speak. We call him ‘Fabulous Francisco’.
