Dr. Flores is a first-generation university graduate who genuinely understands the struggles that accompany being the first in the home to attend and graduate from an institution of higher learning.

Although Flores’s educational journey has not been easy, it has certainly been one of the best investments he has ever made.
Dr. Flores has been married to his wife for twenty-four years and considers himself blessed to be the father of four amazing children Ricky Jr.,Isaiah, Elijah, and Rebecca. Serving as principal at Lanier High School is not something that Principal Flores takes lightly. He clearly understands that to whom much is given, much is required. Flores is committed to working in partnership with our Lanier High School learning community to ensure that all students are afforded every opportunity to experience social and academic success while under their care. At Lanier High School, we are committed to building the type of school that we would all want for our very own children. Nothing is impossible for our VOKS! At Lanier, SI SE PUEDE!
