Mission statement

At Jose Ortega, we provide equitable access and support for each and every student to thrive in the 21st century.


Jose Ortega’s Spring Auction Art

Our Spring Auction event (Lights, Camera, Auction) happened on Friday, 3/14. It was a raging success and we are still tallying up numbers on how much we raised for the school.

JOES’ own parent, Jhina Alvarado (mother of twin 4th graders), lovingly dedicated her time and care into this oil painting, which captures the joyful essence of childhood, featuring students from our school.

Available in two sizes, 12x12" and 10x10", these prints are perfect for bringing warmth, joy, and a touch of childhood innocence into any space.
