Mrs. Carvajal was a descendant of one of the original Canary Island settlers of our city. She loved and preserved her heritage through her writings on the culture of old Spain. Mrs. Carvajal was first a teacher, and then later led the Spanish Department of San Antonio ISD. She authored many bilingual textbooks that were used throughout the school system. She passed away in the 1940s. The Carvajal campus opened its doors to approximately 550 students in September of 1949.
