Bert Blanco

A Man�A Teacher�A Friend�Worth Honoring

113th Annual Dinner at the Marina Del Rey on May 27

The DeWitt Clinton Alumni Association will pay tribute to this dedicated teacher.

Noriberto �Bert� Blanco is retiring in June after giving more than 26 years of outstanding service to DeWitt Clinton High School, its students, alumni, and the entire Clinton community. As a teacher and as coordinator of student affairs, his accomplishments are legion. He favors no one and everyone as he emphasizes the Clinton way. His motto is: �By the time you graduate, you will bleed Red and Black.�Three different senior classes dedicated their yearbooks to him, the only faculty member ever to be so honored. At the 1991 graduation, he was awarded an honorary Clinton diploma.

If you know Bert or know about him, you know that he deserves this honor...and deserves to have all alumni present at this event.
