OUHSD Mariachi Festival 2016
Our 6th Period Mariachi Class was the first on at the 2016 OUHSD Mariachi Festival at Pacifica
High School in the Robert Q. Valles Performing Arts Center. It was Dr. Valles who introduced the
idea of offering Mariachi music in the OUHSD schools and ultimately it became a reality. The festival was well attended, the music was great and the energy was high. Here are a couple of shots of
the HHS period 6 Mariachi class and our own Mariachi de Mi Tierra. A big shout out to Dominic
and Tony Rivera for all their hard work and involvement in the program at all the OUHSD schools
except Pacifica, who does not currently offer Mariachi as part of their music curriculum.

cross- curricular project with students in our Severely Handicapped program. Academy students organized
the project, prepared the materials, and assisted SH students in making Mother’s Day cards. Also, a picture
of each SH student was put in a button and provided to each student for
Mexican Mother’s Day.
In another example of cross-curricular work, academy teacher, Mrs. Cole, provided instruction in using Adobe Photoshop to academy students in the Teaching & Learning Classes.
