Each month, the Carlos Rosario School will introduce you to our Shining Stars. These distinguished students and alumni have a passion for learning. They have achieved success through hard work and a commitment to excellence, exemplifying the School‘s values.
February‘s Shining Star is Santos Lopez.
Santos Lopez came to this country from El Salvador with four years of elementary school education and without any knowledge of English. In 2004, he enrolled in beginning English as a Second Language classes at the Carlos Rosario School and has since successfully completed Carlos Rosario‘s highest ESL Level. During the 2006-2007 school year, Santos completed the School‘s 10-month Culinary Arts Program and was honored as the student with the "Greatest Academic Achievement". He then enrolled in the School‘s GED program and passed the GED exam in 2009, earning his high school credential. Santos is now working as a Grill Cook at The Fairfax at Embassy Row Hotel in Washington, DC. Congratulations, Santos!
The American Dream Gala and Auction will celebrate 40 years of success in providing nationally recognized adult education and support services to help DC‘s immigrant population provide for themselves and their families, as they ultimately strive to become economically-independent citizens and members of American society.
We will be joined by more than 350 of Carlos Rosario‘s top corporate and individual supporters, alumni and current students to celebrate our past accomplishments, as well as future possibilities. Funds raised from the gala and auction will support the expansion of the Carlos Rosario model so that we may reach even more students as they strive to make a better life for themselves and their families.
This elegant dinner and auction is sure to be a special evening for Carlos Rosario as we continue a legacy of "Transforming Dreams into Reality."
