Pierce Athletics Recognizes Retirees for Their Dedication and Impact
May 20, 2026
Celebrating years of dedication, service, and impact at Pierce College.
LA Pierce Athletics recognized our retirees, Robert Horowitz, James Sims, and Leonard Ramirez, along with Bill Velasco, who was unable to attend and is not pictured.
Robert has served in the district since 1993 and has been at Pierce since 2012 as an athletic trainer.
James retires as Fitness Center Coordinator after 14 years in the district and 32 years of experience as a personal trainer and strength coach. Leonard has been part of Pierce College since 1990 as an athletic trainer, building a legacy that so many on campus know simply as Lenny. Bill has also served the district for several decades, and although he could not attend today's event, his impact is deeply appreciated.
Thank you all for everything you have given to Pierce and our campus community.
