I attended CPHS in 2000-2004. I remember Mr Lugo made me do push ups when I was late for class in one occassion. At the time I resented him because I had an excuse for being late. He was a good man, he made us do push ups, did not punish us. RIP! It was the only interaction I had with him but it always stuck to me.

I was so very moved by all who came out to give support to the family. The funeral was jammed pack with people, standing room only and even tv screens outside for those there as well. I meet my husband at CPHS. He was on the football team and had the pleasure of being not only in Rudy's spanish class, but alos on the football team for two years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and all those whose life was touched by this great man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20143814.post-84884899486165932182008-10-28T22:39:00.000-05:002008-10-28T22:39:00.000-05:00Mr. Lugo's funeral and memorial service were stand...Mr. Lugo's funeral and memorial service were standing room only. Canoga students were given a minimum day and the reception was held there. It was breathtakenly amazing to see the hundreds and hundreds of people that turned out. I was in awe of the amount of people Mr. Lugo has touched. His daughter, Melissa spoke with strength, dignity, respect, and ultimate devotion to her parents, their lives, and their love for eachother. <BR/>I pray Christopher and Melissa have the support they need to grieve in a healthy manner.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20143814.post-37620801150358494952008-10-23T10:59:00.000-05:002008-10-23T10:59:00.000-05:00Rudy Lugo was my Spanish teacher and football coac...Rudy Lugo was my Spanish teacher and football coach. He always took the time to speak with his students and he never talked down to them. He was a friend and a mentor to all. He will be sorely missed.<BR/><BR/>Todd BockhorstAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20143814.post-88438133644215311842008-10-22T19:32:00.000-05:002008-10-22T19:32:00.000-05:00See here for an entry on Mr. Lugo's retirement and...See <A HREF="http://pastorzip.blogspot.com/2007/06/canoga-highs-rudy-lugo-retires.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> for an entry on Mr. Lugo's retirement and <A HREF="http://pastorzip.blogspot.com/2008/10/canoga-highs-rudy-lugo-dies.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> for the report of his death yesterday.

He gives everything he's got to his students. I'm so grateful and privileged to have known him and had him as a teacher. God bless his family,<BR/>Tawnya Palma (Dominick)Tawnyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835572815774739742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20143814.post-84962041212049057082008-08-02T01:07:00.000-05:002008-08-02T01:07:00.000-05:00I graduated from Canoga Park High School in 1997 a...I graduated from Canoga Park High School in 1997 and remember Kevin Carlsen (the new coach) and also remember Coach Lugo.

I told him he had every right and he said he should have never embarrased me in front of my friends. <BR/>In 30 plus years I have always tried to remember that everyone deserves respect even if I believe I am in the right. <BR/>Thank you Coach Rudy for touching my life, I hope the best for you and Nancy and your family.steve the legendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16204472121626747982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20143814.post-33845353346013042002007-06-22T19:27:00.000-05:002007-06-22T19:27:00.000-05:00It is ironic to come across the news of Rudy.
