Luis Valdez Leadership Academy was presented with a City Commendation by San Jose Councilmember Bien Doan, a California State Resolution by Senator Dave Cortese, a Commendation by County Supervisor Cindy Chavez, and a California Legislative Certificate of Recognition by Assemblymember Ash Kalra.

Named after the legendary playwright, screenwriter, and film director, LVLA honors his legacy by inspiring students to embrace leadership and creativity in their educational journeys.
