On October 24, the Carlos Rosario School celebrates Founders’ Day in honor of Carlos Manuel Rosario’s birthday and the legacy of our founders, Carlos Manuel Rosario and Sonia Gutiérrez.
Today, more than 10 student government members gathered at our Harvard Street Campus for a conversation with Vilma Rosario, daughter of Carlos Manuel Rosario and Vice Chair of the School’s Board of Trustees, and Allison R. Kokkoros, CEO. Moderated by John Marchese, Vice President of Advancement, the conversation explored our School’s history, challenges, and achievements through stories, historical documents, petition signatures, and photographs.
Allison highlighted the values of “love, patience, and determination” that guided our founding in 1970, our reopening in 1996, and the development of our two campuses.
We honor the courage and commitment of our founders and the immigrant community that continues to shape our mission.
