* MERIT AWARDS 2010 Dr. Patricia J. Gray -- Education* *Without a doubt, Dr. Gray is one of the Best of the Best principals Balboa High School has ever had. She served as our principal for ten years (the longest serving principal since Robert R. Chase) bringing up the test scores to way above average.** **In June of 2009 she turned in the 'keys to our Balboa kingdom" to Kevin Kerr and moved on to become the executive director of Leadership and Equity Design for the San Francisco Unified School District-- in layman's terms, she is now "downtown" helping other principals do what she did for Balboa. While at Bal, she was known as a no-nonsense administrator with a motherly touch -- and it worked well for her and for Balboa. * *Balboa's main office is now known as the Dr. Patricia J. Gray Main Office.* *Assemblyman Jerry Hill (F'64) -- Government/Community Affairs * *At Balboa Jerry demonstrated his abilities as the key blocking and tackling lineman **co-captain of our football team. But, while at Balboa, he also demonstrated other talents. As student association president his school spirit and leadership abilities inspired other students. He was a Life Member of the California Scholarship Federation, and his graduation speech was memorable in content and delivery. He had plans to become a doctor; but, somehow, there he is -- our Gerald "Jerry" Hill, State Assembly member, 19th District. * *Miguel Galarza (S'79) -- Community Service/Government * *Miguel has done well! It is challenging to do his career justice in the allotted space for this 'bio'. As president of Yerba Buena Engineering & Construction, Inc., from its inception in 2002, he is responsible for the growth of $350,000 in sales to current project revenue of 15 Million dollars in sales. He has received many local and national awards. His long-standing commitment to the community of San Francisco extends far beyond the quality engineering and construction services provided by Yerba Buena -- it includes his giving back to the community through his participation in volunteer organizations, boards, sponsorships and educational institutions. ** * * . * |
