Today for , we celebrate the legacy of Jaime Escalante. The Bolivian-born educator became one of the best-known teachers in the U.S. for his work at Garfield High School, where his students—mostly working-class and Latinos— scored higher on their AP Calculus tests than ever before.

Escalante received the Presidential Medal for Excellence and was inducted into the National Teachers Hall of Fame in 1999. His story was captured in the 1988 movie Stand and Deliver.

Hoy en reconocimiento al día de los maestros y maestras, celebramos a Jaime Escalante. El educador boliviano se convirtió en uno de los maestros más reconocidos en los Estados Unidos por su trabajo en la Secundaria Garfield, donde sus estudiantes, en su mayoría de clase obrera y latinos, obtuvieron puntajes más altos que nunca en sus pruebas de Cálculo.

Entre sus muchos reconocimientos, Escalante recibió la Medalla Presidencial a la Excelencia y fue incluido en el Salón Nacional de la Fama de los Maestros en 1999. Su historia fue capturada en 1988 en la película Stand and Deliver.
