Eduardo Alfaro, Class of 1978, Interviewed by 8th Grader Ian Hutchens

Eduardo Alfaro, Class of 1978, Interviewed by 8th Grader Ian Hutchens

In case you missed it, earlier this month, we had a special Chapel where 8th grader Ian Hutchens interviewed a family friend and SAA alumnus, Eduardo Alfaro ’78.

Did you know that SAA had a boarding program up until 1998? Eduardo and his brother, Fernando, were boarding students from El Salvador. He spoke about what it was like living at SAA 7 days a week, and being a 13-year-old boy more than 1,000 miles away from his parents.

“Life as a boarder was a pretty structured environment,” he said. “Life revolved around being at school for the entire year. I went home for spring break, summer break, and Christmas.”

After SAA, Eduardo attended TMI Episcopal as a boarder and the University of Texas – Austin. He continues to reside in San Antonio to this day.

Fun fact: Mr. Bradley started teaching at The Academy in 1977, and Eduardo was in Mr. Bradley’s first graduating class in 1978.
