Students from Blanca Alvarado Middle School performed a one-act play about the life of the groundbreaking South Bay politician.
It’s been a decade since Alpha Public Schools opened its first charter school in East San Jose, and it marked the anniversary this past week with a celebration that included a special tribute to former Santa Clara County Supervisor Blanca Alvarado — the groundbreaking politician that first school was named after.
Alvarado, 92, said it was a unique experience to observe the students as they pieced together parts of her personal and professional life through research and group discussions. They spent weeks asking questions, memorizing lines and ultimately, she said, putting heart and meaning into the life of their school’s namesake.
Alpha Schools has continued to grow and now has three more campuses in Alum Rock Union School District: Jose Hernandez School, a TK-8 school named for the Stockton-raised NASA astronaut; Cornerstone Academy, a TK-8 school; and Cindy Avitia High School, named for the late immigration attorney and community activist who was a close friend of Alvarado’s.
