Portrait-style memorial graphic honoring Dr. Fausto Barragán Jr., Principal of Monte Vista School. The design features a smiling portrait of Dr. Barragán centered within a black circular frame, surrounded by soft white and lavender floral arrangements on both sides. Text at the top reads “Monte Vista School” and “Honoring Dr. Barragán.” Below the portrait, the graphic includes his name and the words “Principal · Colleague · Friend,” along with the Mountain View School District and Monte Vista Eagles logos. The background uses soft gray tones, creating a respectful and commemorative tribute design.
Dear Mountain View School District Community, 

As we continue to mourn the loss of Monte Vista Principal Dr. Fausto Barragán, we invite those who wish to join us in honoring his life, leadership, and lasting impact on our students, families, staff, and district communities.

Dr. Barragán dedicated his life to education and to creating school environments where students felt supported, valued, and that they belonged. We welcome our MVSD community to come together in remembrance, reflection, and support of one another during this difficult time.
