Our Santa Clara community celebrates an important milestone this year – we now have over 100,000 alumni around the world, in all 50 states and over 100 countries. Broncos are everywhere! While the size of our community continues to grow to impressive heights, one truth holds steady: we’ll always be one family. Collectively, we share endless memories. Bronco connections, school pride, lifelong learning, unique stories, and a strong commitment to our homes, schools, and communities.
