Back-to-School

We are honored to partner with Cristo Rey St. Martin College Prep again this school year. Last week we welcomed four students who will intern with us throughout the entire school year! They not only learn the ins and outs of the Recorder’s Office, they learn to establish professional relationships, business communications and become part of our Recorder’s Family.

Cristo Rey St. Martin College Prep is a wonderful part of the Lake County Community and we are proud of our longstanding relationship with them and their students! Have a great year, kids!
