Carlos Santana Going Back To School

On Monday (October 24), Carlos Santana will return to his high school alma mater, San Francisco’s Mission High, to deliver a special presentation.

Following a talk with students gathered in the school assembly, Santana and members of his band (including his drummer-wife, Cindy) will take the stage at the school theater, which contains 1,750 folding wooden seats. Members of Mission High’s Guitar Club will perform alongside Santana, and 15 Guitar Club members will be presented with guitars, courtesy of the non-profit organization, Little Kids Rock.

Currently operating in 24 cities, Little Kids Rock has donated more than 35,000 free instruments, resources and lessons to school children in under-served public schools throughout the country.

The organization is part of the Milagro Foundation, a publicly supported foundation that Santana established in 1998. Santana attended Mission High as a student 45 years ago.

Misleading title is misleading. I thought he was going back to get a degree.

Good luck, Carlos!

45 years ago? Good god. When he goes back it's going to be the biggest mindf*ck ever. I went back to my elementary school ten years later and that alone was a bizarre but incredible experience. Everything was the same but so different. It was nostalgic but also new. I couldn't imagine going back to a school 45 years later, but I probably will eventually.

This is cool. This kind of thing needs to be done more often.

Talking about schools, someone in UG should get PhD for the most annoying titles ever.
