Buena Vista Horace Man K-8 Modernization

Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8 (BVHM) is a Mission District K-8 dual-language Spanish Immersion Community School. This project is a modernization of an existing 100-year-old school campus located in the heart of the Mission. The highly anticipated and much needed improvements will support students and staff in their innovative work, and utilizes strong stakeholder engagement and community process.

Community Outreach

From spring 2022 through spring 2023, the District did extensive community engagement on the new school design. We got feedback from over 200 students, staff, and family members. Designers used this input to help create a school design that reflects community needs and values.
