One B-CC student, @luvrenimm shared the following: “Mr.Palafox, though he had only been at B-CC for the past year and a half, was a favorite among many students, a close friend to many colleagues and other teachers, and made himself a fixture in the athletics and afterschool programs by serving as a coach and assistant athletic director at Bethesda Chevy Chase High school. Mr. Palafox was a valued member of our school community known to many students and staff and this loss has affected many of the members of our community.
