On March 24, 2010, the classmates of Manuel gathered in a cemetery near the school to remember their friend and brother in Christ. (see photo to the left) Pastor Luis Martinez officiated the ceremony at the gravesite. Manuel died in California and was cremated. His classmates placed his ashes in a vault in the cemetery.
The students had previously met in June 2009 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the school. (see photo above)
