All in a name: A sign of respect
When you speak with Sir, you automatically feel the respect.
Yes, Sir! No, Sir! The military is full of respectful salutations, acknowledging an understanding of the authority of those who rank above the common soldier, but for Sir Louis Mathews, a sophomore at Armijo High, it is all just part of who he is.
Mathews isn’t sensitive about his name, although some of his friends address him by his middle name rather than his first name. He actually said that he likes his name because it is unique. He doesn’t even have any real nicknames.
Mathews is part of the Academy program at Armijo and he said that he is enjoying the classes and the environment so far. Part of the reason for that, he explained, is because the teachers have been really nice.
If, in the future, Mathews becomes a parent or a military officer, he will be one of the few leaders who is not being disrespected when his followers call him by his first name. No, Sir!

The 6 Senior ASB Officers [Mark Silva], [Ethan Magno], [Mariza Supapo], [Kiera Tomko], [Ahri Aguba], and [Osaguina Sorae] arrive early to the game to help set up and boost school spirit, gathering at the fence to hype up the crowd as the sun sets behind the bleachers. Their coordinated shirts, painted by ASB officers in the past years, become a highlight of the event as students stop to take photo with them. The moment captures how school events bring students together through shared pride and energy.](https://the-armijo-signal.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Photo-1-450x600.jpg)
