Madera Unified School District Board of Education has been granted funding to build a new high school in Madera, California. This campaign is to promote the proposal name, MATILDA VERDU TORRES to be the name for the new high school. We, the undersigned petition the Board of Education to select this name and vote for this name Matilda Verdu Torres to be the proposed name for the new high school. Matilda made a difference in the lives of her students and the community. We believe Matilda Verdu Torres not only represents education, but is a name more than suitable for the new high school as Matilda spent her entire career dedicated to students and their educational needs. Many, many of those students went on to receive their college education with a successful career. Many students also returned to Madera and gave back to their community following her footsteps as their Counselor, Teacher, Advocate, and a Friend.
